Events

The Dorothy Day Guild hosts and co-sponsors regular events in-person and online. Our events introduce newcomers to Dorothy’s spirituality and message, deepen knowledge and appreciation of this legacy for long-time members and friends of the Guild, and bring people together for prayer, service, and fellowship around Gospel nonviolence, solidarity with the marginalized, and voluntary poverty. You can learn more about past and upcoming events here as well as view recorded lectures and educational webinars. We hope to see you at one of our events soon!
