London Catholic Worker

Discussion, dinner and live music to celebrate 90 years of the Catholic Worker Movement.

Giuseppe Conlon House

Dear friends, This year is the 90th anniversary of the foundation of the Catholic Worker Movement in New York in 1933, and we’ve decided we’d like to mark it before the year is out. To that end, we’d like to invite you to an event on Saturday the 16th of December. There will be a talk given by Martha Hennessy and Anna Blackman on the past, present, and future of the movement, followed by a Q&amp;A. There will then be an opportunity for informal discussion - with, hopefully, the clarification of thought! - followed by a free dinner, with live music. Martha Hennessy is a veteran peace activist and a graddaughter of Dorothy Day. Anna Blackman is a lecturer at the University of Glasgow with a focus on Catholic social teaching, and has done extensive research on the Catholic Worker. Doors will open at 2pm, with the talk to start at 2:30 and dinner to be served at about 4pm. You can feel free to drop in or out any time before 7pm. There are limited places available, so do book ahead. Please get in touch if you have any questions - our email is londoncatholicworker@yahoo.co.uk. See you there!
