The Orange County Catholic Worker is an intentional religious community in Santa Ana, California. Founded in 1987, as part of the international Catholic Worker movement started by Dorothy Day, the Orange County Catholic Worker has endeavored to create an environment of service and community where all are welcome.

While we are involved in a variety of outreach and advocacy projects, our mission is centered on the Works of Mercy. We share meals, provide necessities, and cultivate true friendships with the people on the margins in our community.
