Established in 2005, the Dayton Catholic Worker Movement provides a house of hospitality, located in a poor inner-city neighborhood, for homeless men in recovery from addictions. About half our guests are felon re-entry and the other half have a co-dependent mental illness. Over 80% of our guests have achieved sustainable faith – measured as one year of continuous abstinence from drugs and alcohol. It’s love that cures addictions.

We are looking for retired individuals who are interested in volunteering and living in the community. We ask for a 1-year commitment. The two Catholic Workers are voluntarily poor, rent, take the bus, bicycle, wear second-hand clothes, shop online, cook for ourselves and share community expenses. We do get some donations, but not sufficient to fully fund beds, feed, clothe and transport our homeless guests. Our SSA retirement incomes, with a little bit of help from local benefactors, have floated the boat for 15 years. We participate in the nonviolent protest of war at the gates of Wright Patterson Airforce Base, Dayton International Peace Museum and diocesean social justice events. Our rule is that we can not live beyond the means of the least among us.
