Dear members of the Dorothy Day Guild, Happy Dorothy-month! November is always a very special time of year for the Guild, since amid the close of the liturgical year, the beginning of Advent preparations, and the start of the winter holiday season for those of us in Northern Hemisphere, we also celebrate the anniversaries of Dorothy’s birth on November 8th and her death on November 29th. Thank you each for coming alongside us on this journey of faith as together, we work to make Dorothy’s legacy of nonviolence, voluntary poverty, and hospitality more widely known and practiced in our Church and in our world.

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!
