Remembering Vincent Scotti Eirine
Vincent Scotti Eirene, a longtime Catholic Worker and well-known Pittsburgh peace activist, died Sept. 11, 2025, at the age of 73. Eirene, who adopted his surname from the Greek goddess of peace, began his activism by protesting the Vietnam War. He went on to demonstrate against U.S. military interventions, mountaintop mining, and weapons research at Carnegie Mellon University. Over the years, he was arrested multiple times, once for digging a grave in the yard of then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and later protested alongside communities in Iraq and post-Katrina New Orleans. He also offered hospitality to the unhoused at the Catholic Worker house he founded, the Duncan Porter House of Hospitality and Resistance.
This page is dedicated to his memory. If you have a story, photo, or tribute to share, write roundtable@catholicworker.org. Please put Vince’s name in the subject line so we can prioritize it.
