Friends Of Dorothy House

Friends Of Dorothy House Friends of Dorothy is our initiative to be supportive of people with AIDS. None of our guests are charged in any way for the services we provide.

Since October of 1992 we have offered home-based care and support to to people with AIDS. We are solely dependent on the financial support we receive from individuals in the community. We hold fund raising events, including community dinners. (Call for information.) We also have a core group of individuals who have committed to monthly support. This support is absolutely crucial to our ability to

continue the work we have undertaken with our guests. We are a tax-exempt organization and your donation is deductible as charitable giving. We have no formal affiliation with any other HIV/AIDS service organizations, or with the Catholic Church and the Diocese of Syracuse. (There is no formal affiliation of Catholic Worker houses!) As gay men who remain self-identified as Catholic we seek to stand in prophetic witness to the intrinsic goodness of human sexuality, including gay sexuality. We maintain the Catholic Worker model of opening our home as a means of opening all our lives to the presence of the Human One; the One who is god-among-us. We ask for your public communication of support for people with HIV/AIDS, a commitment to a cure, and, until that day, the continuation of loving, quality care.

This will be a very interesting evening, looking at Dorothy Day, who is one of the founders of the Catholic Worker movement.

Pope Francis invites us to explore this path in his Encyclical: ‘Care for Our Common Home’. He reminds us that Jesus ‘makes all things new’ (Rev. 21:5). And he encourages us in the meantime to come together and take charge of this home which has been entrusted to us … God does not aband...

Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die
John Donne

Among all the things that Minnie Bruce was, she was also a part of Friends of Dorothy House. She was part of the Kitchen Crew at our dinners; she sat with guests; she offered advice and sharpened our analysis of our political moment, and how we should be in our community and the world. She also served on our Board of Directors.
It is impossible for me to express how much she will be missed.

View Minnie Bruce Pratt's obituary, send flowers and sign the guestbook.
