Noted writer Antoinette Bosco compares Ozanam and Dorthy Day…
I often link Day with another incredible layperson, Frederick Ozanam of 19th-century Paris. So moved was he by the poverty and disorder in his city in the early stages of industrialization that he formed a Catholic organization of laypeople devoted to personal holiness and aiding the poor. Inspired by St. Vincent de Paul, he called his workers the St. Vincent de Paul Society.
Many people like me believe that if you want to define sainthood just say Frederick Ozanam or Dorothy Day!
