Dorothy Day
Born in 1897, Dorothy Day was
baptized in 1927. After her conversion, Day desired to combine
her activism and her faith. Peter Maurin's brand of personalism
provided the link that Day sought. In 1933 Day and Maurin founded
The Catholic Worker newspaper and house of hospitality.
Until her death in 1980, Day continued to work on behalf of her
"fellow workers" and the poor.
