Mother Jones House

The Mother Jones House is the central service learning effort at the Chapel. Created in partnership with Wheeling Jesuit University, the Mother Jones House is an intentional community of 6-10 students. Each student devotes ten hours of service each week to the Chapel and our community partners. A house mentor provides guidance and organization. Junior and senior students at WJU are eligible to apply for residence at the Mother Jones House.

Mother Jones: The Miners' Angel

Mother Jones Quotes:

Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living.

My address is like my shoes. It travels with me. I abide where there is a fight against wrong.

The employment of children is doing more to fill prisons, insane asylums, almshouses, reformatories, slums, and gin shops than all the efforts of reformers are doing to improve society.

I asked a man in prison once how he happened to be there and he said he had stolen a pair of shoes. I told him if he had stolen a railroad he would be a United States Senator.

Sit down and read. Educate yourself for the coming conflicts.

No matter what the fight, don't be ladylike! God almighty made women and the Rockefeller gang of thieves made the ladies.
