The Dawning of Day: A Theatrical Presentation of the

Epiphanies of Dorothy Day Sunday, February 14th 1:30 pm

Church of the Assumption 1100 Fulton Ave, San Leandro

What we would like to do is change the world-make it a little simpler for people to feed, clothe and shelter themselves as God intended them to do. And, my fighting for better conditions, by crying out unceasingly for the rights of the workers, the poor, of the destitute-the rights of the worthy and unworthy poor, in other words-we can, to a certain extent, change the world…” Dorothy Day

Please join veteran stage actress and MA theology graduate, Tiffany Hoover, for a dramatic presentation of a monologue that will reflect the life and epiphanies of Dorothy Day, co-founder of the Catholic Worker Movement. At the height of the Great Depression, Dorothy Day, along with

Peter Maurin, created a social, political and cultural movement in the form of Houses of Hospitality for the homeless, a Catholic

newspaper for the poor and Catholic Worker Farms.

“The greatest challenge of the day is: how to bring about a revolution

of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us” -Dorothy Day
