Coming soon in the St. Anthony Messenger

Dorothy Day, her life of mercy and passion for justice provided a voice to the unheard. Your heart will be touched!
            
            
"In these times when social concerns are so important, I cannot fail to mention the Servant of God Dorothy Day, who founded the Catholic Worker movement."
—Pope Francis

Hi, Friend,

The August issue of St. Anthony Messenger offers great summer reading! The cover story, about Dorothy Day, is sure to touch your heart. She was one of four Americans whom Pope Francis singled out in his speech to Congress last September—the others being Thomas Merton, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and President Abraham Lincoln.

Dorothy Day was an indomitable, faith-filled woman who refused to stand on the sidelines watching social injustices. She served the poor and lived among them—and stirred controversy while doing it!  Check out this exclusive preview: Dorothy Day: Model of Mercy. 

Also in the August issue:

Tomorrow's Saints: Could someone you know be a saint in the making? Could it be you? 

Forgotten Women of the New Testament: They were integral to the life of the early Church. Get to know these holy heroines!

Reel Time With Sister Rose Pacatte, FSP: Sister Rose, film critic and world-renowned media expert, recommends Ben-Hur, the action-packed remake of the 1959 classic. A film that deftly combines adventure, family, vengeance, and forgiveness, it's one you won't want to miss!
