CANTERBURY HOUSE

Picture
Canterbury House is a ministry of Mary, Mother of God Parish based at St. Thomas of Canterbury in Uptown. We are a Eucharistic community in service to the parish through prayer, outreach, fellowship, and Catholic social thought.

Canterbury House is building community through Eucharistic adoration, which feeds the soul, and relates to feeding the body through the soup kitchen and food pantry.  We draw on the heritage of Dorothy Day, Peter Maurin and the Catholic Worker movement, following in the steps of the Catholic Workers who founded St. Thomas of Canterbury soup kitchen over thirty years ago.  Our community is rooted in the Eucharist and service to the poor, recognizing the presence of Christ in both.
