love thy neighbor
About
Sacred Tent is a community of Christian families and friends committed to providing a home for those in need. We welcome individuals into our houses of hospitality, where they become part of a supportive and loving community. Our mission is to help them rediscover hope and dignity—offering not just shelter and meals, but also encouragement, accountability, and a path forward.
No matter where they’ve been or what struggles they’ve faced, we open our doors to the ill, the lonely, the refugee, the Christian, and the non-Christian alike. Sacred Tent is part of a global network of over 180 Catholic Worker Communities, united by the values of Prayer, Simplicity, Community, and Service.
Prayer.
With faith as our foundation, Sacred Tent values our deep relationship with God, trusting that He will guide our every word and action when we ask. Our community participates in prayerful solidarity nights, fasting from meat, electricity, or running water. And we gather weekly for Mass and evening prayer.
Simplicity.
The Catholic Worker lifestyle was meant to be monastic. Joining in common prayer, household work, and activities brings great joy. We have a large garden, compost, beehives and lots of homemade bread. We try to be good stewards of the Earth as another way to take care of the poor.
Community.
The Sacred Tent community is made up of previous and current guests, host families, donors, and volunteers. Our monthly community nights are meant to understand and encourage one another, to see Christ in one another, and to fight for basic human rights such as the right to food, water, medicine and safe housing.
Service.
Catholic social teaching challenges us, as Christians, to share and even re-distribute our “talents” or goods. By living intimately with the poor and vulnerable, Sacred Tent is truly living out the corporal works of mercy. Please serve with us in the garden, as a caseworker, or become a radical host family!
