Abstract
Ellen Tarry and Ann Harrigan were pioneering Catholic social activists in the United States during the middle decades of the twentieth century. Tarry and Harrigan are both remembered for their respective contributions to the pursuit of racial justice in the United States and in the Catholic Church. Their efforts coincided briefly through their involvement with Friendship House, a Catholic interracial movement that Catherine de Hueck Doherty founded in Harlem, New York City, and which subsequently spread to several other locations across the United States. Together, Tarry and Harrigan co-founded the Chicago branch of Friendship House. For different reasons, both Tarry and Harrigan were at first reluctant to undertake the initiative but through careful discernment of their life’s purposes found themselves in Chicago to promote racial justice in church and society. This chapter explores the history and contemporary relevance of their respective journeys to Friendship House and their eventual move to Chicago. Tarry’s auto-biography, A Third Door, and Ann Harrigan’s diary from the year 1940, as she discerned a full-time commitment to Friendship House, serve as the primary source material for the evaluation of their respective decision-making processes.
