Presentation of Haunted by God: The Life of Dorothy Day

Haunted by God: The Life of Dorothy Day is an acclaimed play about the co-founder of the Catholic Worker movement, who spent 47 years caring for the poor and leading the Catholic Church to a more active concern for the needy in U.S. society.

In New York in 1933, she and a French-born itinerant philosopher, Peter Maurin, co-founded the Catholic Worker, a living movement that has been responsible for feeding and housing the homeless. Today, there are over 100 Catholic Worker houses in the United States and around the world.

Haunted by God: The Life of Dorothy Day will be presented at Lincoln-Way West High School auditorium (21701 S. Gougar Rd., New Lenox, IL) on Wednesday, October 12 at 7:00 pm. The Peace & Social Justice Ministry and Faith Formation Office at The Catholic Community of St. Jude, New Lenox, are sponsoring this performance.
