Dear friends, Greetings, and happy Feast of the Presentation! Today’s Gospel reading brings the Holy Family into the embrace of Anna and Simeon, faithful prophets who trusted that God would send them a redeemer, and who recognize the child Jesus in His mother’s arms as their long-awaited Savior. As we continue to await news of a miracle which will further Dorothy’s canonization cause, may we remain as prayerful and vigilant as Anna and Simeon, and as ready to welcome Christ in our neighbors, especially the poor.
Dear friends, Merry Christmas from all of us at the Dorothy Day Guild! We hope that all of you were able to enjoy some rest and refreshment as Advent concluded and we began the celebration of the Christmas season. Every year, Kelly Latimore’s beautiful image of Dorothy welcoming the Holy Family to Maryhouse captures for us the spirit of hospitality, vulnerability, and peace that characterizes this time of year. Many thanks to the artists and musicians who have brought such beauty and variety to our homes and our liturgies over the past few weeks!
Dear friends, Hello, and Advent greetings from the Dorothy Day Guild! You might know that we received a really important canonization update last month: the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints in Rome appointed Monsignor Maurizio Tagliaferri as the relator for Dorothy’s cause! Our Guild steering committee, George Horton, Deirdre Cornell, and Dr. Kevin Ahern, met with our postulator, Dr. Waldery Hilgeman, at the beginning of November, when he shared this news. This was a great gift for Dorothy’s birthday on November 8th and her anniversary of death on November 29th! All of us here at the Guild are thrilled with this development, and we wanted to take this opportunity to explain what happens at this stage of the canonization process and outline the next steps towards sainthood for our members.

“The main thing is not to hold on to anything.” -Dorothy Day The Catholic Worker, May 1952
