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!

    Manhattan College’s O’Malley Library Gallery will host Kristi Pfister’s “Radical Action: Tracing Dorothy Day” from September 18th through December 16th. “Radical Action”  is an installation of suspended fabric columns, marble mosaics, and mixed media work that explores the duality of Day's radical actions and her spiritual self. The mosaic's concrete strength contrasts with translucent columns on which Pfister has traced patterned fragments of drawings. A large-scale painted scroll presents Day as a modern-day caryatid leading a procession of activism.


    You can come experience the exhibit at the O’Malley library gallery (4513 Manhattan College Parkway, Bronx, NY) daily this fall between 10 am and 6 pm. Please be especially sure to join us for a reception and artist talk on Thursday October 26th from 5-7pm. Pfister will deliver some brief remarks right at five. We hope to see you there!
