Dear members of the Dorothy Day Guild, Hello! We hope that this missive finds you all well, and hopefully wherever you are, enjoying the same beautiful weather we’ve been experiencing in South Bend. Our Catholic Worker community is starting to look towards colder weather and anticipate the upcoming needs of our unhoused guests and neighbors for warm clothing, tents, and sleeping bags, but we have still managed to squeeze in a tiny bit more warm-weather fun: camping, picnics, and making Dorothy and Catholic Worker-themed art as a fundraiser at a neighborhood fall festival!

Dear members of the Dorothy Day Guild,  We are writing to share the sad news that our friend Patrick Jordan, former editor of The Catholic Worker , founding member of the Guild, and close friend of Dorothy’s, died last week on Thursday, October 2nd. Pat joined the Catholic Worker movement in 1968, and met his wife, Kathleen DeSutter Jordan, working together on the soupline soon afterwards.

Dear members of the Dorothy Day Guild, Hello! We hope that as always, this missive finds each of you well in these final days of summer. After a slightly slower-paced August, the Guild is now gearing up for an exciting autumn season as we approach the 45th anniversary of Dorothy’s death this November 29th, the day that we hope will very soon be celebrated as her feast day.
