Book Talk: Kate Hennessy on Dorothy Day

Join us for a book talk with author Kate Hennessy on her grandmother, Dorothy Day.

Social activist and journalist Dorothy Day is most noted for her role in launching the Catholic Worker movement in the 1930s, but her entire life was devoted to fighting against the injustices of inequality and war. Her outstanding faith and work on behalf of the poor have been highlighted by multiple popes, including Pope Francis in his recent speech to Congress.

Day's granddaughter, Kate Hennessy, has sketched a loving portrait of Day's inspiring life in her recent memoir, Dorothy Day: The World Will Be Saved by Beauty. Plan to attend to hear Hennessy's insights into the book as well as stories about growing up with her grandmother.
