Dorothy Day, Servant of God, has been described as "the most interesting Catho lic of the 20th Century." Take a deep dive into Dorothy Day’s life with Jeffry Odell Korgen, author of Dorothy Day: Radical Devotion and coordinator of the local phase of the canonization process for the Archdiocese of New York. No hagiography, this graphic biography uses words and art to draw a throughline between Dorothy’s radical past to her life as a Catholic Work er and Christian peacemaker.

Korgen worked as a lay ecclesial minister in the Church for 32 years, serving as a youth minister, community organizer, di rector of social ministries for the National Pastoral Life Center, Executive Director of Diocesan Planning for the Diocese of Metuchen (NJ), and leader of Korgen Asso ciates, a Church leadership consulting firm. In the later capacity, he coordinated the local phase of Dorothy Day’s Cause for Canonization for Cardinal Dolan.
