Two Part Series On Dorothy Day - Dec. 14th & 21st

I will be presenting a two part series on Dorothy Day, her life and influence, on Dec 14th & 21st, 2015 from 11am to Noon at the Penn Yan Public Library. The series is part of the Classics In Religion series sponsored by Cobblestone Springs in Himrod, NY.

In Part One, I will be presenting a brief overview of Dorothy's early life and her co-founding of the Catholic Worker Movement with Peter Maurin in the 1930's. Part Two of the series will cover the period from the 1960's to her death in 1980. I will include some of my own personal expierience and knowledge of Dorothy during the period that I was involved at the Catholic Worker in the mid 60's.

There will be time for interaction and discussion during both sessions.

Cobblestone Springs is an interdenominational retreat/renewal center located in the Finger Lakes Region of rural Upstate New York. Housed in an historic 1840's cobblestone mansion, it overlooks the Seneca Lake valley. Well-kept Mennonite farms surround the property, and horse and buggies regularly pass by the house.  More about Cobblestone Springs here.
