Dorothy Day [November 8, 1897-November 29, 1980] managed to gain the respect of the Catholic Church and of social justice adherents worldwide. With Peter Maurin [May 9, 1877-May 15, 1949], she co-founded the Catholic Worker movement in 1933. The movement was organized to give direct aid to the poor and to become involved in direct, nonviolent action on their behalf. The movement has reached a worldwide audience in its impact, organization and services. A direct result of the movement's success has been the inclusion of Day's name among the list of candidates for sainthood by the Catholic Church.

Is dorothy day a saint?
If the question means "Has Dorothy Day been formally recognized as a saint?", the answer is not yet. The proposal that she be formally recognized as such by the Roman Catholic Church has been made by the Archdiocese of New York. The Vatican has accepted the nomination. As a result, she is now officially "Servant of God Dorothy Day." If eventually she is beatified, the title would become "Blessed Dorothy Day." The final step would be to name her "Saint Dorothy Day." But if the question-- "Is Dorothy Day a saint?" -- is taken as put, then the answer is: a great many people regard her as someone in whom a heroic degree of witness to Christ's Gospel was evident. That is to say, yes, she is a saint. The Catholic Church would be the first to say that there are far more saints than those named in the Church's Calendar of Saints.
