Casa Maria is a Catholica Worker Community located in South Tucson. Our mission, as part of the lay catholic worker movement founded in 1930 in New York City by Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin, is to practice daily the love and compassion of Jesus and to implement the teachings of his Gospel and the social doctrine of our church. The Sermon on the Mount and the call to solidarity with the poor are the heart of these teachings.
At Casa Maria, our Catholic Workers are devoted to acts of mercy (feeding and clothing those in need, visiting the ill, etc), voluntary poverty, pacifism, and the search of justice for the poor. In each action, they use their faith and try to revive the faith in those who have lost it, making them understand that Christ has never left their lives.
As a part of our mission, we seek new and creative ways to organize and let the talent of each one of our volunteer Catholic Workers be destined to achieve spiritual and economical transformation of our community.
“We work for liberty, social justice, and peace”

En Casa María, nuestros trabajadores católicos son devotos a actos de misericordia (alimentar y vestir a esos en necesidad, visitar a los enfermos, etc), pobreza voluntaria, pacifismo y la búsqueda de la justicia para los pobres. En cada acción ellos usan su fe y tratan de revivir la fe en esos que la han perdido, haciéndolos entender que Cristo nunca ha dejado sus vidas.
Como una parte de nuestra misión nosotros buscamos nuevas y creativas formas de organizar y dejar que el talento de cada uno de nuestros voluntarios trabajadores católicos sea destinado a lograr una transformación espiritual y económica de nuestra comunidad.
