Our ministry is attracting more and more souls who are benefitting from our work on the Dorothy Day Catholic Worker Farm and from the Gaudium et Spes 22 blog. These two ministries flow from and back to each other, feeding each other. Peter Maurin would say the scholars should be workers and the workers should be scholars. We are certainly living out this vision. Our life on the farm informs the content of the blog - our pondering the faith gives our farm life a particular perspective.
While the farm and the blog are labors of love, there are, of course, necessary expenses. Our Border Leicester sheep need grain and hay and our chickens need feed. This spring, we added Nigerian dwarf goats to the mix.
In addition to taking care of the livestock, we have technology expenses for the blog and YouTube videos, as well as website fees.
Our Benedictine life requires generous hospitality toward our guests - good meals and good conversation. Chapel supplies, especially candles, are always needed.
We are a 501 (c) 3 tax-exempt non-profit corporation under Pennsylvania law. We can accept tax-deductible donations. Checks payable to Dorothy Day Catholic Worker can be mailed to the farm at 793 Halowich Road, Harveys Lake, PA, 18618. Online donations can be accepted through the Gaudium et Spes 22 blog here.
Finally, and most importantly, we ask for your support in prayer, asking Our Lord to keep us on the right track.
