Website Re-launch
March 5, 2014
The Dorothy Day Guild is happy to announce the re-launch of its website dorothydayguild.org
This year, 2014, marks the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I -- "the war to end all wars." How poignant that designation in light of the last century of relentless violence and mass destruction!
Among her many gifts to us, Dorothy Day helped to recover peacemaking as an essential element of the Christian vocation. We see this 2014 re-launch of the Guild website not only as a way of furthering a call for her sainthood but also as a way of invoking a new time when peace will end all war.

Dear friends, Happy February! We hope that each of you had a joyful Christmas season. After a busy autumn of travel and excitement, all of us at the Guild were grateful for a little time to rest and enjoy the holidays and are now looking forward to being back in a more regular rhythm of activity. We have a number of great, free programs coming up in the next few months and lots of other news and updates to share with you just below!
Dear friends, Advent greetings to each of you! We hope that in the midst of what for many of us is a busy, exciting, and sometimes stressful time of year, you have had a few moments of peace where you have been reminded of the joy we are all anticipating. Christ is again coming into our midst, in order to make us members of His Body and draw us closer to each other and closer to God in love.
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.
