The mission of the Catholic Worker Movement is to live out the Gospel by practicing the Works of Mercy (feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, etc.) through hospitality and communal living, while also advocating for social justice through nonviolent action, voluntary poverty, and prayer to build a more just society. Founded by Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin, it aims to create "a new heaven and a new earth" by confronting injustice, war, and inequality with radical love and personal responsibility, rooted in Catholic Social Teaching. Along with Dorothy Day, Peter Maurin was one of the founders of the Catholic Worker Movement in 1933. The Christian anarchist Ammon Hennacy was also one of the founding fathers of the present-day radical movement. He was associate editor of "The Catholic Worker," and, after he retired, he went to Salt Lake City to run the Joe Hill House for Hospitality and Migrant Workers. Throughout his time spent protesting and embracing pacifism, he was jailed over 30 times.
