Mother Teresa and Dorothy Day, perhaps the greatest Catholic women of the 20th century, came to Utah some 50 years ago. Both went to the same place: the old Trappist monastery in the Ogden Valley.
Two years before Mother Teresa’s visit, Dorothy Day came to Utah. Unfortunately, I did not get to meet her, but I have heard a lot about the visit.
Day had sent Hennacy to Utah in 1961 to start and operate a homeless shelter. Hennacy — a pacifist and devoted advocate for the poor — often was arrested for civil disobedience. Afterward he once quipped, “I wasn’t disturbing the peace. I was disturbing the war.” In 1978, New York Catholic writer and activist Eileen Egan visited the Huntsville monastery, too. Egan was friends with both Day and Mother Teresa. After the visit, Egan sent some famous Utah Trappist wheat bread and honey to Day.
In June 1979, about a year before Day died, she met with Mother Teresa at Maryhouse, the Catholic Worker facility where Day lived in New York. Photographer Bill Barrett captured a lovely image of the two women holding hands while they spoke together.
