Community

"We cannot love God unless we love each other. We know Him in the breaking of the bread and we know each other in the breaking of the bread and we are not alone anymore. Heaven is a banquet and life is a banquet too, even with a crust, where there is companionship. We have all known the long loneliness and we have learned that the only solution is love and that love comes with community."
Dorothy Day

For Catholic Workers community life is both a practical way to live simply as well as an attempt to take seriously and practice daily, the call to love one another. Community life prompts the daily discipline of looking beyond human frailties while continually seeing and striving to honor the sacred in each person who comes to us. Common work, common prayer, round table discussions and community celebrations are ways to cultivate and sustain community.
