Deborah Sucich, Staten Island Catholic Worker Coordinator
“We need a way to honor Dorothy Day here on Staten Island where so much of her life was spent and cherished. The community is hungry for a hands-on way to serve and meet the poor face-to-face. I am excited to think about the spirit of generosity in time, talent and treasure that the Staten Island Catholic Worker will inspire among us to carry on Dorothy’s heroic efforts in creating a ‘revolution of the heart’!”
Father Raymond P. Roden, Spiritual Director Cathedral Seminary House of Formation, Douglaston, New York
“The Catholic Worker Movement is a beautiful and dynamic expression of Catholic social teaching which captured the heart of Servant of God Dorothy Day almost ninety years ago. It is a wonderful invitation to be in community with one another and a powerful remedy for the loneliness, disconnection, and discouragement that touch the lives of so many on Staten Island, around the city, and across the country these days.”
Bishop Peter J. Byrne, Episcopal Vicar of Staten Island
“The unique attribute you have compared to other similar work being done on Staten Island, is that this will be Catholic, and therefore an apostolate.”
Bishop John J. O’Hara, Episcopal Vicar Emeritus of Staten Island
“Living as we do in a selfish, self-centered culture that is shrouded in darkness, Dorothy Day embraces the beauty of life at every stage and recognizes the radiant presence of Christ in each and every individual, whoever they are, wherever they come from, whatever their condition, from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death. She is an apostle of life shining brightly in the midst of a society that chooses to embrace death and darkness.”
