Those with fond memories of our grandmothers will often say she “was a saint”. 

For Martha Hennessy, that will literally be the case. 

Her grandmother, the American Catholic writer and social justice activist Dorothy Day is on track to canonization. 

Dorothy Day died in 1980, almost 50 years after she co-founded the Catholic Worker newspaper, but Pope Benedict, Pope Francis and now Pope Leo have invoked her life and work. 

Martha Hennessy is currently touring Australia.

GUEST:

  • Martha Hennessy is an American Catholic peace activist and member of the Catholic Worker Movement
