A Moveable Feast – Lydia’s House

Dinner, conversation, and informal Communion to follow! This month, we will join the Lydia’s House Community in Norwood, a community of people who are cultivating a house of hospitality for women and children in the Catholic Worker tradition. We will reflect together on the relationships that have changed our lives. What does it mean to accompany one another through life? What are the limiting beliefs that hold us back from relationships of mutuality and trust? How can we enlarge our hearts and participate in God’s dream for community? Join us as we explore the many ways we are transformed through relationships with those who are different from us.

Moveable Feasts create a community of practice and a place for imagining a new way to be church. All are welcome. Please bring a dish to share!

For a bit of inspiration – a quote from Dorothy Day, co-founder of the Catholic Worker Movement:


“What we would like to do is change the world–make it a little simpler for people to feed, clothe, and shelter themselves as God intended them to do. And, by fighting for better conditions, by crying out unceasingly for the rights of the workers, the poor, of the destitute–the rights of the worthy and the unworthy poor, in other words–we can, to a certain extent, change the world; we can work for the oasis, the little cell of joy and peace in a harried world. We can throw our pebble in the pond and be confident that its ever widening circle will reach around the world. We repeat, there is nothing we can do but love, and, dear God, please enlarge our hearts to love each other, to love our neighbor, to love our enemy as our friend.”
