Catholic Worker Home Page. An unofficial website with plenty of material about the Catholic Worker Movement. As Jim Forest writes in his essay at this site which recounts some of the history of the movement: "The Catholic Worker movement was founded in 1933 during the Great Depression by Dorothy Day at the urging of Peter Maurin. It is best known for houses of hospitality located in run-down sections of many cities, though a number of Catholic Worker centers exist in rural areas. Food, clothing, shelter and welcome is extended by unpaid volunteers to those in need according to the ability of each household. In 1995 there were 134 Catholic Worker communities, all but three in the United States."

Servants of Jesus Community.   "Since 1981 individuals and families have come together to form a Christian Community called "The Servants Of Jesus".
