The St. Martin de Porres Catholic Worker House was established on November 3, 1993. We are a community of Catholics living in the north end of Hartford, working and praying for an end to violence and poverty. We are not a "non-profit agency." We do not accept government funding. Our ability to house the homeless, feed the hungry, and work with the children depends on contributions from supporters. We are not paid. We can be reached at 26 Clark Street, Hartford, CT 06120, (860) 724-7066.
