Guests

We welcome guests to stay with us. Most of our guests have experienced homelessness or have recently exited incarceration. There is no set length of stay, and we can only offer sober living at this time. We also do not currently have the capacity to welcome families or children overnight.  If you or someone you know are need of shelter, please email us.

Visit Us

If you would like to visit for a dinner, volunteer with us, or you are a traveling Catholic Worker or friend looking to stay with us for a few nights, please contact us by email.


We often need help with cooking and cleaning, offering hospitality to our guests, tending to our garden, and doing routine maintenance on our houses.

Join Us

If you are interested in living in community with us, we welcome applicants for staff, resident volunteer, and sojourner roles. Sojourners stay with us for a period of less than 6 months (often over the summer), resident volunteers stay for a period of more than 6 months, and staff members commit to living at the Worker for at least 1 year. The availability of these roles depends on the needs of our guests and whether we have open beds. Please email us, and we will send you one of our applications.



Our houses are currently full through 2024. If you are interested in staying with us in the future, please let us know and we will keep you in mind when we have availability. If you are a traveling Catholic Worker, we do have some capacity for stays less than a month.
