Historian, educator, and author, Anne Klejment, professor emerita of history at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, has devoted much of her scholarship to the study of Dorothy Day and the Catholic Worker, casting a special light on Day’s pacifism. How grateful we are for this “Good Talk” with her, illuminating its roots, growth, and prophetic significance.  

Judy Coode, new Communications Director for Pax Christi USA, reflects on the persistent presence of Dorothy Day in her life. From her FB page right after college where she immediately placed a signature quote to her now office in D.C. twenty years later, Dorothy is a staple in her work to fight “this filthy, rotten system.”

Catholic Worker houses that spring up like so many flowers make it hard to keep their count! Fumiaki Tosu recounts the start of possibly the newest, this past fall:  Dandelion House in Portland, Oregon, a sisterhouse to the Los Angeles Catholic Worker (This article was originally published in LACW’s The Catholic Agitator.)

The cause for the canonization of Dorothy Day has arrived safely in Rome – all 137 archival boxes of evidence of her holiness, over 50,000 pages! – freeing the Guild now to turn its creative energies to outreach and educational initiatives with the help of new Coordinator, Casey Mullaney, who shares the most recent, exciting developments.
