I have visited CW NYC many times to donate things, read all DD’s writings and did not know the date or location of this life defining event. As a friend once observed, in Dorothy’s case for sainthood, the first miracle is that the CW still exists. That was 20 years ago..
I don't think I really dug into the significance of the date until I was working on this story! https://apnews.com/article/religion-new-york-sainthood-timothy-dolan-06cb53148fb7644fce4ba8a99dd341e5 But it's well-documented in a lot of Dorothy's writing--Houses of Hospitality, Union Square to Rome, and the Long Loneliness. I find her writing about Peter and their original meeting moving in all her different books but there's something about how she reflects on it in Houses of Hospitality that's really beautiful.
