Featuring Katie Kelso and John Yevtich
Katie and John will discuss how the Catholic Worker movement allows for living out the teachings of the Gospels in everyday life.
They will share the history of the movement in general as well as in New Orleans. Also, they will explain what specifically the New Orleans Catholic Worker does.
The St Thomas House of Hospitality of the New Orleans Catholic Worker is one of over two hundred Catholic Worker communities.
Katie and John are a married couple whose involvement with the Catholic Worker movement began in 2009 at the Los Angeles community. They have been in New Orleans about a year and a half. Along with running St Thomas House, they are involved in some local social justice oriented groups - Take ‘em Down NOLA, Black Lives Matter, Pax Christi, Justice for Eric Harris, New Orleans Workers Group and the J20 Coalition. They both have a history of participating in non-violent direct action and continue to work for peace.
