Dorothy Day, Servant of God Painting

Dorothy Day (1897-1980) with her mentor Peter Maurin founded the Catholic Worker newspaper in 1933. In the ensuing years "houses of hospitality" for the poor and homeless were founded throughout the United States. She was a staunch pacifist and advocate for the common laborer. In 1973 she was arrested with Caesar Chavez protesting unjust conditions of farmworkers. I served as her chaplain in the 1970s and gave the eulogy at her funeral. The portrait is in the permanent collection of the Archdiocese of New York. Day is a candidate for canonization by the Roman Catholic Church.
