In 1995, Paulist Pictures produced the feature film, Entertaining Angels: The Dorothy Day Story, a movie that traces the spiritual journey of Dorothy Day. The founder of The Catholic Worker, Dorothy Day was a great servant of the poor, a battler for justice and a champion of non-violent conflict resolution. 

Starting from her days as a feisty Marxist journalist and through several affairs and an abortion, she eventually undergoes a religious transformation, which turned her into the American Mother Teresa. The phrase "entertaining angels" comes from the New Testament, Hebrews 13:2, "Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it," which expresses Dorothy Day's attitude about hospitality to the poor.
