Love in All Sincerity

At the Catholic Worker Farm we live with 8 destitute women. Some have been tortured, raped and have lost their loved ones. With us they share their Joys and Sorrows. Life here is 'hard but good'. We have a rhythm of prayer, work in the garden and in the house, mutual encouragement and Vigiling, dinner and once a week 'movie night'. As our readers know our moto is "Love in All Sincerity". This is a phrase from scripture which we seized upon very early as a challenge to us living here. It comes from "Love in all sincerity, loathing evil and clinging to the good. Let love for our brotherhood breed warmth of mutual affection. Give pride of place to one another in esteem." (Rom 12:9,10)

Celebrating!

With so many guests in the house it seems we are always celebrating. All are valued and the whole household joins in the celebration of each person's birthday.

We also share an evening weekday meal together. We try to practice Jesus' table fellowship, and eating together encourages a community spirit in the household.

We had a joyous Christmas this year, our supporters provided an amazing collection of gifts for all our guests. We went to Mass together and shared a huge meal; the turkey provided by a local butcher.
