Jonah House
Jonah House is a faith-based community centered on the concept of "Nonviolence, resistance and community". Founded in 1973 by a group that included Philip Berrigan, a Catholic priest, and Elizabeth McAlister, formerly a Catholic nun, Jonah House has grown to be situated on a 22-acre (89,000 m2) area of land in Baltimore, Maryland situated encompassing St. Peter's Cemetery, caring for the grounds.
Jonah House has been specifically regarded as a prime example of a Catholic Worker House of Resistance.
Much of the non-violent resistance direct actions undertaken by Jonah House have taken the form of Plowshares actions. Additionally non-violence is practiced in the community both as a way of thought and action. Education of the injustice present in violence is contemplated.
Jonah House donates food and clothes to persons in need.
Jonah House is part of a network of individuals and communities along the east coast that calls itself “The Atlantic Life Community".
The Pacific Life Community is a similar organization encompasing the west coast of the United States of America, Pacific Islands and East Asia.
Jonah House is also a sister community with Dorothy Day Catholic Worker House (in D.C) Viva House Catholic Worker, and The P. Francis Murphy Justice/Peace Initiative.
