that is to say agriculture.– Peter Maurin
The program of the Catholic Worker is based on “Three C’s” of Peter Maurin’s program to “reconstruct the social order”—cult (prayer), culture (literature and clarification of thought), and cultivation (creating a more decentralized and person-based economy that integrates the agrarian and urban).
We try to practice all of Peter Maurin’s three C’s here at St. Martin de Porres—come join!
