Non-Profit & Social Impact
Location: Omro
We are seeking an individual or couple to join us as live-in volunteers and help propel our mission forward.
Casa Esther Catholic Worker House is located in Omro, Wisconsin
, just 10 miles west of Oshkosh. Our work is organized around three core pillars:
- House of Hospitality – We operate a busy Basic Needs Distribution and rental assistance program.
- Roundtable Discussions – We host nonviolence webinars in collaboration with Pax Christi.
- Connection with Nature – We maintain a large garden and run a garden education program for local youth.
We strive to be a place of healing and prayer, guided by the principles of the Catholic Worker Aims and Means
. Our service area includes Omro, Oshkosh, and the greater Winnebago County region, where we collaborate with various social service organizations and government agencies.
Our work is carried out by:
- Founder and Spiritual Director,
Fr. Joe Mattern - A part-time Executive Director
- A part-time Administrative Assistant
Casa Esther is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization governed by a Board of Directors. Our Founder resides at the House.
We believe this opportunity might especially suit someone transitioning from a bustling, urban Catholic Worker House who is seeking a quieter experience. We work closely with local nonprofits and county agencies—so comfort with nonprofit operations and 501(c)(3) structures is important.
We are currently involved in launching a Safe Parking Program for Winnebago County—experience in this area is a plus!
