| | Catholic Worker Movement - PeterMaurin |
 | | We read in the Catholic Encyclopedia that during the early ages of Christianity the Hospices or Houses of Hospitality was a shelter for the sick, the poor, the orphan, the old, the traveller, and the needy of every kind. |
 | | Originally the Hospices of Houses of Hospitality were under the supervision of the Bishops who designated priests to administer the spiritual and temporal affairs of these charitable institutions. |
 | | By living with the workers in Houses of Hospitality scholars will be able to convey to the workers why things are what they are, how things would be if they were as they should be, and how a path can be made from things as they are to things as they should be. |
