The latest addition to New York’s Staten Island Ferry fleet, the Dorothy Day, passed under the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge on Sept. 16, delighting members of New York’s Catholic Worker community and supporters who had come out to welcome Dorothy back to New York.

A pilgrimage to Dorothy Day’s New York
To follow in the footsteps of an American saint one need only travel to New York City, and visit the places where the late Dorothy Day (November 8, 1897 – November 29, 1980), lived, worked and prayed.
While Day’s has not yet been canonized, in 2013 the United States Council of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) voted to support her cause to sainthood.
An American journalist and social activist, Day, along with Peter Maurin, founded the Catholic Worker Movement and the Catholic Worker newspaper.
