What is the Catholic Worker?
2026-01-20 18:00 - 19:00, 2026-01-13 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.

Become a Mentor to an Incarcerated Woman
2026-01-14 17:30 - 19:30 | VT
Mercy Connections is seeking women across Vermont to join its Vermont Women’s Mentoring Program, a powerful initiative that supports incarcerated women as they transition back into the community. A new five-week training series begins January 14 and runs through February 11, held every Wednesday from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. via Zoom.
Upon completing training, mentors are carefully matched with mentees—women currently incarcerated, under community supervision, or in pre-trial services—through a collaborative process involving the Vermont Department of Corrections and local partners. No prior experience
with the justice system is required.
Mentors come from all walks of life and commit to a minimum of one year. They serve as role models and support systems, helping women navigate challenges such as addiction, mental health struggles, unemployment, and housing insecurity. In addition to initial training, mentors receive ongoing support through group meetings, continuing education on reentry issues, and community-building events.
Join Mercy Connections in creating pathways to hope, healing, and lasting transformation.
