Dorothy Day Staten Island Ferry Makes Inaugural Ride

The Dorothy Day ferry - a new Staten Island Ferry boat bringing passengers between Staten Island and lower Manhattan - made its inaugural ride April 28.
And before it set sail across the New York Harbor, city officials, and friends and family of Day marked the occasion with a brief ceremony, paying tribute to the ferry’s namesake - a peace activist and journalist who is a candidate for sainthood and primarily known for co-founding the Catholic Worker Movement, a group committed to the social justice teachings of the Church.
