Lisa Wagner-Carollo, the founder and artistic director of the Still Point Theatre Collective, will bring this one-woman play to the Renewal Center for an evening performance.
Supper will proceed the show.
Fr. Joe Nassal will introduce the play, and Wagner-Carollo and Nassal will answer questions about Dorothy Day after the performance.
The evening schedule:
Haunted by God is an acclaimed play about Dorothy Day (1897-1980) who, as the co-founder of the Catholic Worker movement, spent 47 years caring for the poor and leading the Catholic Church to a more active participation in social justice. The church began a canonical investigation into Day’s cause for canonization in 2016.
When Pope Francis made his historic address to Congress in 2015, he called Day one of four “great Americans,” along with Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr. and Thomas Merton, the Catholic monk.
Haunted by God is dramatic portrait of this inspiring woman. It follows Dorothy Day from her days as a 17-year-old Greenwich Village bohemian through her career as a journalist and then as a tireless champion of social justice.
It has been called “a compelling warts-and-all portrait” and “wonderfully uplifting theater experience.”

You and I are invited to gaze at the blessed bread and wine during Mass, or later in the tabernacle, and encounter the Son of God. Don’t pass up the opportunity. Gaze through the tabernacle door and see Jesus. This 10-minute meditation invites you into this experience.
By Fr. Joe Uecker, C.PP.S.
Writing to the Corinthians, Paul tells us that “Jesus was not yes one minute and no the next; he was only yes.” This is the new covenant. We “are no longer strangers and sojourners, but fellow citizens with the holy ones and members of the household of God."
