CATHOLIC WORKER ENCOUNTERS
Comments(0) Growing up in Rochester, NY, I would pass the St Joseph House of Hospitality on South Avenue. I had only the most dilute idea of what it was about.
When I attended Aquinas Institute high school I would see copies of the Catholic Worker newspaper in the library, and read a little bit of it. I thought, “Wow, that is powerful, those people are really living the Christian message!”
In the Army , stationed in Utah, I came to find out that Ammon Hennacy, one of the writers at the Catholic Worker, was living there. Somehow or other I got to visit him and have a wonderful conversation.
At the University of Chicago, the Calvert House Catholic Student Center had Dorothy Day as a speaker one evening. I felt so priviledged to be in the same room with her. A captivating talk!
