House of Grace Catholic Worker is a community in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA co-founded by Mary Beth Appel and Johanna Berrigan. With an extended community of faithful volunteers, we provide free health care services through the Catholic Worker Free Clinic for unhoused, uninsured, underinsured people of our community. We provide temporary hospitality for those in need at the Kassie Temple House of hospitality. The House of Grace also has two community gardens; a fruit and vegetable garden, and a sitting garden part of the Neighborhood Gardens Land Trust.
What We Do
The Catholic Worker Free Clinic is also gathering space where people come to relax, take a shower, charge their phones, use the lending library, and find someone to listen. We offer pastoral care services/ spiritual counseling upon request.
