Join The Guild for Dorothy Day Join The Guild for Dorothy Day November 29th marked the 30th Anniversary of the death of Dorothy Day. In 2000, The Holy See granted to the Archdiocese permission to open the Cause for the Beatification and Canonization of Dorothy Day. In order to assist the canonization process, The Guild for Dorothy Day has been established. Its purpose is to spread the word of her life, work, and sanctity and to document her ability to intercede for people in need of God’s healing mercy and assistance. If your are interested in becoming a member of The Guild for Dorothy Day or would like more information, please visit dorothydayguild.org or contact Lourdes Ferrer at 212-371-1000 ext. 2474 or by email at lourdes.ferrer@archny.org.
