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!

The Dorothy Day Guild is participating in this summer's "Catholic Saints of America" exhibition at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion in Wisconsin!
This exhibit is part of a celebration of American saints and holy people in honor of the United States’ 250th anniversary. The Shrine is hosting a series of events from July 1st-July 9th.
David Mueller, a member of the Dorothy Day Guild board of directors, will be representing Dorothy's cause on Thursday, July 2nd and Friday, July 3rd at our booth in the "American Saints" exhibit and will be giving a presentation at 1:15 PM on Friday, July 3rd. Check out his talk and stop by our table for a free Dorothy Day Guild sticker and holy card!
Our Lady of Champion Shrine is the site of the only approved Marian apparition in the United States, so this is a really special place to pray, and the grounds are beautiful. The Shrine is working with more than seventy different canonization causes, shrines, and guilds, for this celebration and we are so honored to be included!

The city of New York has named Dorothy's birthplace in her honor! The stretch of Pineapple Street that includes the site where Dorothy was born in 1897 will now be known as "Dorothy Day Way." Along with the Brooklyn oratory parishes and the Dorothy Day Center at Manhattan University, we hosted a ceremony at the corner of Henry and Pineapple Streets in Brooklyn and a light reception at Assumption Church Hall (55 Cranberry Street).
Dorothy Day Walking Pilgrimage
To mark the close of Dorothy’s 125th year, we hosted our first Manhattan walking pilgrimage of significant sites in Dorothy’s life and the early years of the Catholic Worker movement on Saturday, October 21st, 2023. This pilgrimage takes us to the places where Dorothy prayed, protested, and offered the works of mercy for nearly 50 years.
