What is the Catholic Worker?
2025-12-16 18:00 - 19:00 | Immaculate Heart of Mary Church – Williston, 7417 Williston Rd, Williston, VT, United States
A Catholic Worker House of Hospitality is an intentional community built upon the principles of Micah 6:8. “You have been told what is good, and what the LORD requires of you: Only to do justice and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.”
To do Justice. The community is rooted in the radical Christian lifestyle, working to bring the Justice of God’s Kingdom into the world around us.
To love Mercy. The community grounds itself in performing the Works of Mercy; giving food to the hungry and drink to the thirsty; sheltering the homeless; generally looking after the common good in as far as circumstances require and resources allow.
To walk humbly with God. The community sustains itself through an active spiritual life. Communal prayer time and regular Mass attendance are encouraged.
We’re working to bring the Catholic Worker to Vermont. Come join one of our meetings to learn more and see if it’s something you’d want to be involved in! We meet weekly on Tuesday evenings in the parish hall downstairs at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Williston.

Rooted in Justice, Grounded in Prayer: Monthly Conference-wide Prayer Meeting
2025-12-14 19:00 | VT
The New England Annual Conference Justice Ministries Table will be hosting a monthly prayer meeting and time for sharing and solidarity on the second Sunday of every month. We are living in turbulent times and many feel isolated and alone fearing what may happen to them, their communities, and those whom they love. As Methodist Christians, we are reminded that the Wesley’s grounded all that they did in prayer … individual, communal, and familial. We understand that it is time for us to connect more deeply with our Methodist Heritage by coming together to pray and listen as we hold one another who may be suffering.
