Casa Maria’s mission, as part of the lay catholic
worker movement founded in 1930 in New York
City by Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin, is to
practice daily the love and compassion of Jesus
and to implement the teachings of his Gospel
and the social doctrine of our church. The
Sermon on the Mount and the call to solidarity
with the poor are the heart of these teachings.
In Casa Maria, our catholic workers are devoting
to acts of mercy (feeding and clothing those in
need, visit the ill, etc), voluntary poverty,
pacifism, and the search of justice for the poor.
In each action, they use their faith and try to
revive the faith in those who have lost it, making
them understand that Christ has never left their
lives.
As a part of our mission, we seek new and
creative ways to organize and let the talent of
each one of our volunteer catholic workers be
destined to achieve spiritual and economical
transformation of our community.
“We work for liberty, social justice, and peace”…
