In 2000, after decades of teaching social justice to Catholic school students in Iowa and Oregon, Franciscan Sr. Dorothy Marie Hennessey at age 87 committed civil disobedience during the annual protests at the Army's training school for Latin American soldiers at Fort Benning, Ga. For that she spent six months in the federal penitentiary at Pekin, Ill. Her younger sibling, Franciscan Sr. Gwen Hennessey, was with her at the protest and in prison. Sr. Dorothy died Jan. 24, just one day short of her 76th anniversary of joining the Sisters of St. Francis, Dubuque, Iowa. She was 94.
