The Early Years

Before there was Saint Francis . . . before Mary Catherine Whitney and Dean Michaels, there was a precocious little girl named Em and a wild, energetic teenage boy named Andy.

Patrick is the common point during these years. He was Em’s much loved older brother and Andy’s closest friend at Saint Sebastian. His time with each of them was much too short, but Patrick shaped their lives in ways he would have never imagined and in part, bound the two of them together . . .

Stories from the early years include:

New Year’s Eve (By Mary Catherine)

Skinned Knees (By Mary Catherine)
