Catholic Worker Movement

The Catholic Worker Movement, founded in 1933 by Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin, is a social justice movement rooted in Catholic teachings. It emphasizes hospitality, voluntary poverty, and nonviolent action to address poverty and injustice. Members often operate houses of hospitality, aid the poor, and advocate for systemic change aligned with Catholic social principles. The movement aims to promote a faith-based approach to social issues, encouraging communities to serve those in need and work towards a more just and compassionate society through direct service and activism.
