Dorothy
Day, born November 8, 1897, at Brooklyn, New York,
was the Editor and Publisher of the Catholic Worker,
115 Mott Street, New York City. It was founded in
1933, and this was also Day's home address as she
lived and worked from this address in Chinatown. The
Catholic Worker opposed compulsory military service
and it had no connection to the Catholic Church .
On June 3, 1938, Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin as joint
tenants and trustees for the Catholic Worker purchased
approximately 40 acres of land for a farm commune
at North Hampton County, Easton, Pennsylvania. In
July 1962, she applied for a passport for a three-month
vacation in Brazil, traveling both ways by ship.
