Article three in my 5-part series exploring 125 years of Our Lady Help of Christians parish history in Tottenville. This installment covers the transformative years from 1948-1973, building on the previous articles that included Dorothy Day's conversion and reception into the Church.

Working with religious boundaries that change over time? OHM might be the place for you. You can store, collaborate, and see boundaries in their historical context.

Rebel Hearts is a hidden gem. It tells the story of the radical Catholic nuns in 1960s Los Angeles whose faith, defiance and activism turned the Church upside-down. They marched at Selma with MLK and they still fight for social justice today. Their story is incredible and it will fill you and your students with hope and fire. 4/n

The unexpected path to historical research: While covering Spanish Camp for a local newspaper in 1997, I learned about Dorothy Day's connection to Tottenville.

While researching Tottenville, I discovered Benjamin Franklin Joline's 1950 self-published history beginning in 1668. Suddenly the street names I knew became real historical figures!
