"The Eucharist is in the poor." Martha Hennessy, granddaughter of Catholic Worker Movement co-founder Dorothy Day, continues her grandmother's mission of radical Christian discipleship. Day, a candidate for sainthood, co-founded a movement that "took the Sermon on the Mount and Catholic social teaching literally" by feeding the hungry and sheltering the homeless.

My journey as a Tottenville historian began as a reporter covering Spanish Camp's demise, where I discovered Dorothy Day had stayed in a summer cottage as retreat from her Catholic Worker ministry.

Russell Lawson's profile of Dorothy Day, founder of the Catholic Worker Movement traces her evolution from socialist journalist to Catholic convert, to tireless advocate for the poor. He captures Day's insistence on living out her faith through direct action: rejecting both passive spirituality and activism without spiritual foundation. #DorothyDay #CatholicSocialTeaching #SocialJustice #History

Dorothy Day, The Lay Missionary

Dorothy Day was a lay missionary. She was not a member of a religious order (although she did become a Benedictine oblate); rather, she was a convert to Catholicism who completely embraced the religion to guide her everyday existence according to the Church calendar, liturgy, prayers, and Mass.

In his opinion piece, John Nichols examines when Pope Francis addressed Congress and specifically highlighted Dorothy Day—founder of the Catholic Worker Movement and a radical voice for the oppressed.

The unexpected path to historical research: While covering Spanish Camp for a local newspaper in 1997, I learned about Dorothy Day's connection to Tottenville.

I've started listening to a biography on the famous Christian Anarchist Dorothy Day, and the way the book describes Greenwich Village in the 1910s makes me think of how people saw Moulin Rouge in the movie of the same name, as either a paradise of art and free love and open minds or a sad spectacle of sex work, shitty slums, and sleezy druggies.
