Peter Maurin
Peter Maurin took his first
vows as a Christian Brother in 1895 in Paris. After the
secularization of France in 1902, he became involved in a French
Catholic social movement and later moved to Canada in 1909 and
to the US in 1911. He co-founded the Catholic Worker with
Dorothy Day in 1933.
His program of Roundtable discussions,
houses of hospitality, and Catholic Worker farms remains central
to the Catholic Worker Movement.
