SUMMARY:Holy Innocents Action at Offutt Air Force Base
DESCRIPTION:An invitation to Catholic Workers and Friends \n\n\n\n“A voice was heard in Ramah\, sobbing and loud lamentation; Rachel weeping for her children\, and she would not be consoled\, since they were no more.”    Jeremiah 31:15 \n\n\n\nOn “Holy Innocents Day\,” December 28\, when many Christians remember the children of Bethlehem slaughtered by King Herod who perceived the birth of Jesus as a security threat\, there will be a nonviolent and prayerful witness at Offutt Air Force Base at Belleville\, near Omaha\, Nebraska. \n\n\n\nOffutt is home to the U.S. Strategic Command’s Command and Control Facility\, the bunker from which the destruction of the planet might be orchestrated. The Command and Control Facility is responsible to “aid the president’s nuclear response decision-making process\, and\, if called upon\, deliver a decisive response in all domains.” \n\n\n\nFrom the time of Herod to our own time of Trump\, Biden\, Putin\, Zalenski and Netanyahu\, the innocents are slaughtered in the interest of national security. Modern instruments of war and the threat of “a decisive response in all domains” puts every child under Herod’s sword. \n\n\n\nWe will gather at St John’s Church Hall on the Creighton University campus\, 2500 California Plaza in Omaha\, at 6 PM\, Friday\, December 27. We will share a meal and there will be sleeping space on the floor. At 8AM on Saturday\, we will celebrate Mass of the day in the hall and expect to arrive at Offutt’s Bellevue Gate\, 2502 Nelson Dr\, Bellevue\, around 10AM. \n\n\n\nAs we celebrate the nativity of the Christ Child in this most perilous of years\, we pause to mourn the slaughter of children that accompanied His birth. We will stand at the gates of the greatest threat to life on the planet in solidarity with all refugees and victims of war and to beseech all those at Offutt Air Force Base whose job it is to “aid the president’s nuclear response decision-making process” to act in defense of all creation. \n\n\n\nFor more information call Brian Terrell at 773-853-1886 or Jim Murphy at 608-617-7379

SUMMARY:San Antonio CW 40th Anniversary Celebration and CW Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Save the Date:  Thursday afternoon\, October 2nd to Sunday afternoon\, October 5t \n\n\n\nPlease consider joining the San Antonio Catholic Worker Community for our 40th Anniversary and possible National Gathering in Texas at the Dorothy Day House of Hospitality (DDHH) on the campus of Towne Twin Village\, a residential community that provides housing using the Housing First Permanent Supportive Housing (HF-PSH) model. \n\n\n\nWe\, at the SA-CW have never hosted a gathering; more over\, none of us has ever even attended a National Gathering!  Thus\, we are reaching out early to all of you in hopes that there are some seasoned National Gathering folks out there who might want to help us with the programing (topics\, speakers\, panels\, round tables\, etc.)….just suggestions and contact info would greatly help us.  SA-CW will provide\, at no cost to participants\, all of the meals\, hospitality\, and meeting needs.  We also have several lodging options….from “floor space” in two air- conditioned (it’s Texas 😉) meeting rooms or under an outdoor pavilion (connecting the two rooms) and possibly a few beds on campus for those who are physically challenged.  Our current local CW day volunteers\, Board members\, and supporters have also offered to host some of the participants.  \n\n\n\n\nGet latest Updates here

SUMMARY:Midwest CW Faith and Resistance Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Catholic Workers Return to Protest Nuclear Bomb Production in Kansas City \n\n\n\nSAVE THE DATE!   April 24-27\, 2026 \n\n\n\n“It is all very well to say we must go to the source of all strength\, to drink at the living fountain of Christ\, but can we go from that fount of Love to a factory where nerve gas and incendiary bombs are manufactured?” \n\n\n\nDorothy Day\, April 1954 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt the Midwest Catholic Worker retreat in September\, in consultation with PeaceWorksKC\, the Cherith Brook CW and Jerusalem Farm communities\, it was agreed that we would return to the Kansas City National Security Campus\, (KCNSC) for our annual Spring Resistance gathering. The KCNSC is where 80% of the electronic and mechanical parts for U.S. nuclear weapons are produced\, including the triggering and guidance systems as part of the $2 trillion “Stockpile Stewardship and Management Plan.” \n\n\n\nAbout the time when the CW visited the “campus” in the Spring of 2024\, the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) had announced that the old B61 bombs deployed at various U.S. bases and several NATO bases in Europe since 1968\, have been replaced with the new improved “more flexible\, more precise and easily deployable” B61-12 bombs. Since then\, the next generation tactical nuclear weapon\, the B-61-13\, up to 24 times as powerful as the bomb dropped on Hiroshima\, has gone into production ahead of schedule. “The B61-13\,” according to the NNSA\, “will provide the President with additional nuclear options against certain harder and large-area military targets.” The new construction at the already sprawling bomb factory to double its size that was disrupted in 2024\, is nearer to completion. \n\n\n\nThe danger of nuclear war has never been so imminent and in this time of global instability\, the Kansas City National “Security” Campus is providing President Trump with “additional nuclear options” that would end life on this planet as we know it. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a weekend of prayer\, education\, discernment\, celebration and mourning in preparation for acts of nonviolent direct action for the sake of life on Monday morning\, April 27. \n\n\n\nFor information to follow \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContacts: \n\n\n\nHenry Stoever\, PeaceWorksKC\, henrystoever@sbcglobal.net \n\n\n\nMike Miles and Barb Kass\, Anathoth CW Farm\, Luck\, WI\, anathoth@lakeland.ws \n\n\n\nJane Stoever\, PeaceWorksKC\, janepstoever@yahoo.com \n\n\n\nBrian Terrell\, Strangers and Guests CW Farm\, Maloy\, IA\,  brian1956terrell@gmail.com \n\n\n\nAnn Suellentrop\, PeaceWorksKC\, annsuellen@gmail.com \n\n\n\nNasid\, “N.
