Catholic Worker Conference at Holy Cross

Last week, Suzanne, Brayton, and Matt, Agape’s newest resident, traveled to Worcester for a Catholic Worker Conference hosted by Holy Cross. The event allowed regional Catholic Worker communities to share their stories. They met up with many familiar faces and friends of Agape. Below: Suzanne, Claire Schaeffer-Duffy, Robert Ellsberg and Brayton. Claire Schaeffer Duffy is the co-founder of Saints Therese and Francis Catholic Worker in Worcester, MA. Robert Ellsberg of Orbis Books was a friend and confidante of Dorothy Day and former editor of the Catholic Worker. He worked with Dorothy during the last five years of her life.
