Dear friends and members of the Dorothy Day Guild, Hello, and warm greetings from all of us here at the Guild! We hope that the change of seasons has brought all of your summer projects to a satisfying conclusion, and for those who are now back to school as either students or teachers that the fall semester is off to a great start. I look forward to writing this letter every month, but particularly at the start of the school year when everything feels crisp and renewed. We have so many exciting updates and new resources to share with you this month! First, in honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, which began last week in the United States, we are very proud to announce that the main pages of our website are now available in Spanish . You can use the language buttons on our home page to toggle back and forth between English and Spanish. Many thanks to Magdalena Muñoz Pizzulic for her work on this translation. Originally from Chile, Magdalena is a recent graduate of the Master of Theological Studies program at the University of Notre Dame and now lives and works as a member of the St. Peter Claver Catholic Worker community in South Bend, Indiana. Magdalena’s linguistic skills, theological knowledge, and lived commitment to Dorothy’s legacy of nonviolence, voluntary poverty, and hospitality have been invaluable to us in increasing the accessibility of our online resources. As we work to promote Dorothy’s cause for canonization in our global Church, we hope to continue making our Guild’s educational and devotional materials available bilingually, and eventually in other languages as well. Please keep us in your prayers as we continue this work, and for those who live, work, and worship in Spanish-speaking communities, please consider sharing Dorothy’s story with someone new this month!
