When Dorothy Bennett died, her friends knew immediately that she had to be memorialized in some way. A catechist in St. Lucy-St. Patrick’s parish, Fort Greene, Dorothy Bennett was one of the first Associates of the Brooklyn Sisters of Mercy in the 1980s. She volunteered as a Girl Scout leader and worked at the Mercy Motherhouse on Willoughby Ave.
