St. Martin de Porres is a Catholic Worker community located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
The house offers rooms to a few individuals who are seeking housing. Additionally, the community takes on a responsibility to provide labor at the Saint Francis soup kitchen across the street and also for maintaining a community garden. The house accepts donations (socks, underwear, toiletries, housing essentials, etc.) and hands them out to neighbors in need. The Harrisburg CW does not have a publication but does occasionally post articles on this website. There is not a scheduled evening for round-table discussions but the community hopes to begin those soon.
This community does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, handicap or familial status. Members of all religious backgrounds are welcome here, and this will not impact your ability to join or live within our community.
The community follows in the footsteps of Dorothy Day and St. Francis by trying to carry out the works of mercy as Jesus commanded.
