The Catholic Worker House of Hospitality in San Diego is getting closer to becoming a reality every day. A house has been rented and workers, some paid and some volunteers, are putting it in order. The house located at 2428 L Street, San Diego CA 92102, has one large kitchen, a good sized entrance and living room, and three bedrooms, two downstairs, and another large one upstairs, and two bathrooms. The kitchen and the bathrooms are being worked on. A notice inviting people with Catholic Worker experience to come and live in the house was posted on the worldwide Internet list-serve that is serviced by the Des Moines, Iowa, Catholic Worker. The response has been slow, but we were given suggestions as to how we might go about advertising our needs via other contacts. The decision to open a House of Hospitality in San Diego was taken in August. The house will become the focal point of all Catholic Worker activities in the city. It will also provide opportunities for the regular stream of requests we get from people who want to serve the poor. Two or three people will live in the house as a core community working in conjunction with the larger San Diego Catholic Worker group. Just as every one of the 188 Catholic Worker groups throughout the world is different from the others, so the San Diego House of Hospitality will reflect the unique spirit of San Diego and be a service to people in need. We will get to know our neighbors and assure them that we will be the very best of neighbors doing our best to be a genuine support of the neighborhood and the people living in it. The house will be a place where hospitality is practiced. Everybody will feel welcomed and embraced. There is no set plan for the house; it will grow in response to the needs of the people in the area and the prompting of the Holy Spirit. Whereas the house has been made possible by the owner giving us a generous break on the rent and the contribution of our benefactors, it will put a strain on our regular finances. Help will be greatly appreciated, most especially though in the form of prayers for the success of this venture.
