Lorenzo Rosebaugh - Presente!

On May 18th 2009, Lorenzo Rosebaugh was murdered in Guatemala by gunmen who stopped and robbed the car he was driving. Lorenzo was a personal friend of many in the St. Louis Catholic Worker community, and was planning on moving to Kabat House CW this fall. His death is a tremendous loss for all of us, and for humanity--he was the rarest embodiment of holiness, humility, and love. What a gift to have known him!

Lorenzo's autobiography, "To Wisdom Through Failure: A journey of Compassion, Resistance And Hope," published in 2006, is available here.

For more info on Lorenzo's life, please see John Dear's reflection for the National Catholic Reporter.
