We offer daytime assistance where guests in need can come share food, fellowship, and other amenities. Our founding principles are solidarity with those experiencing poverty, hospitality to them, and community with them. As a Catholic Worker community, and 501c3 Non-Profit organization, we offer hospitality to those seeking assistance.
Our faith is what informs our actions at the Romero House. Without the nourishment and strength provided through prayer and relationship with God, we have nothing to give. “You cannot give what you do not have.” If we desire to love, then we must be filled first by the One who gives it freely. “God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God ” and “Rivers of living water will flow from within them” (1 John 1:16 and John 7:38).
We are funded by personal and private donations from families, clergy, and lay people in the community. We do not receive funding from the government (local/state/federal) so we can keep our mission centered on witnessing Christ and being Christ to others. Although we are part of the community of the Catholic Church, we are not funded or subsidized by it. We believe that the same people who fund the Romero House should be the ones who give their lives in service there.
Together, let’s create a welcoming “home to come to” for the impoverished and oppressed of Ames. Please pray for us; that we may love our neighbors with pure hearts and that every guest that crosses our threshold may experience the love of Christ in The Romero House. We cherish your accompaniment.
David Thielen – Executive Director
