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, then 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 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.
