Welcome to Saint Joe's House of Hospitality!

Saint Joseph's House of Hospitality is located in Rochester, New York. It is a Rochester Catholic Worker community which provides food, clothing, shelter and spiritually-centered care to its guests.

We share a firm belief in the God-given dignity of every human person; and we are committed to nonviolence, voluntary poverty, and the Works of Mercy as a way of life.

We invite you to view a web video of the Stations of the Cross which occured on Good Friday, April 6. (Read Harry Murray's article in the Sping Newsletter.) You will also find a link there to Chava Redonnet's inspiring piece, "Stations of the Cross for Migrant Farmworkers".
