She might very well be pleased with this unusual endeavor in Ohio, which is taking her values into the 21st century: 


The Dayton Catholic Workers Movement, a charitable organization that helps the homeless, is opening a new Dayton restaurant.


The restaurant, the Bucholtz Tavern on Huffman Avenue, will open this Friday. It will seat 50 people and serve a full candlelit dinner, for a suggested donation of $25. Each dinner, on every Friday and Saturday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. for the next 90 days, will feature jazz music from local artists, as well as a lecture centered on business and social issues, including sustainability and new media. Speakers include several University of Dayton professors and department chairs, as well as business and community leaders.  


The first dinner at the restaurant will feature pork loin.  


Money raised by the restaurant will go to create a local food kitchen to help feed the needy.  


If the restaurant is successful, the collaborative will continue the business model next year, said Stephen DuVol, a spokesman for the group.  


Along with the restaurant, the movement also is launching its own Catholic Internet Television Network, where it will stream the lectures from the candlelit dinners. The Web site also will feature a Webconferencing tool, which the collaborative is hoping to sell to area businesses, which would pay $9.95 a month for the ability to host Web conferences for their own purposes.
