ASK THAT DOROTHY DAY BE NAMED A SAINT

Sign Petition

The life of Dorothy Day (1897 - 1980) embodies the powerful message of Pope Francis's first encyclical Lumen Fidei: "The light of faith is concretely placed at the service of justice…and peace."


We believe she is a saint for our time.


Please sign this petition to advance her cause because we need her witness and model of holiness.

(Petitions will become part of the documentation forwarded to the Vatican offices that oversee the canonization process and will help attest to the popular support essential to her recognition as saint. To learn more about Dorothy Day and other ways to help her cause, contact the Dorothy Day Guild at www.dorothydayguild.org. The Guild gratefully acknowledges artist Ade Bethune whose graphic image was adapted for use as the petition logo.)
