Bluffing the Monster - Dogman Wrecks Summer CampIn the summer of 1987, during a Catholic Youth Organization retreat in the mountains, Youth Ministers along with a group of youths and adults, experienced an unsettling incident. While walking across a large field at night after preparing breakfast, they encountered what they initially thought was a dog. However, the creature stood on two legs, revealing itself as a large, off-white, humanoid figure that silenced the surroundings. Terrified, the Minister brandished a pocket knife, and when he approached, the creature retreated into the woods and vanished. The group reported the sighting to authorities, who seemed unsurprised, prompting the retreat to end early the next day.Join my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support

Julie McLaughlin was 18 and pregnant - labeled as a 'good Catholic girl' from a good family. She sang in a group at church and was president of the Catholic Youth Organization. She was embarrassed, ashamed, and felt helpless. That was during an era when teenage pregnancy was not easily accepted. The lesson she learned from that experience has supported her throughout life.     Julie is a retired paralegal and first-time author who won numerous awards as a writer. During her interview, she shares how writing can be a healing tool for each of us. Her story may make you laugh and cry but also give you hope. Her book, The Gift of Time has allowed her the opportunity to meet adoptees, adoptive parents, as well as other birth mothers.  There is a twist to this story you never saw coming and will certainly give you the courage to never ever give up hope.   CLICK HERE TO BUY "Do we have any skeletons in our closet?" That was the question posed to the author's mother-in-law by a niece after receiving a private message through Facebook from a stranger who said, "I think you are my cousin." This led to a shocking phone call on a normal June day, which altered the life of the author. For forty years, Julie had kept a secret from most of the people in her life. A Catholic girl from a good family in the late 1970s, she had become pregnant in her late teens but was not ready to be a mom. With guidance from her parish priest, Julie went away to live in a home for other unwed, pregnant girls and made the difficult decision to give her baby up for adoption. Not for forty years did she know a thing about him--what his name was, what he looked like, where he lived, or what he did for a living. Until that June day in 2018, when he was revealed to be that baby, now a forty-year-old man. Yet she always had faith that her decision was the right one as she placed her son in God's hands. Over the course of two years, this birth mother and biological son get to know each other and enter into each other's lives. There are interesting twists and turns. Had their paths ever crossed? This very personal and honest memoir dives into the heartache, loss, and guilt suffered by the author. You will laugh, and you might cry. Some who have experienced the real story compare it to a beautiful Hallmark movie. In the end, the hole in the author's heart is filled. The author hopes that this adoption story can bring peace to others who have endured a similar fate.

He was active playing baseball as a youngster, and then added swimming to his list of sports when he got to junior high.

He would also coach baseball for the city parks and rec league, plus he coached for a couple of years in the Catholic Youth Organization.

This is our first Redux of 2023 and because Monday the 16th is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, we are looking back at a favorite past Mississippi Moments episode: MSM 601 Father Peter Quinn - Dr. King Comes to Hattiesburg, which aired originally on January 28, 2019. For the interview, we are joined by Dr. Rebecca Tuuri, an associate professor of history at the USM with expertise in Civil Rights, African American, and Women's and Gender history. She is co-director for the Center for the Study of the Gulf South and a member of the Center for Black Studies at USM. She also serves on the boards of the Gulf South Historical Association, the Mississippi Historical Society, and is the Mississippi State Scholar for the Smithsonian exhibition Voices and Votes. Her 2018 book Strategic Sisterhood: The National Council of Negro Women in the Black Freedom Struggle won the 2019 prize for best book in Southern women's history from the Southern Association of Women Historians. Father Peter, O. Quinn moved from his home in Ireland to Hattiesburg, Mississippi, in September of 1962, shortly after being ordained into the priesthood at the age of twenty-five. His first assignment was at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, and then he became the priest at Holy Rosary Catholic Church, which was an all-black church in Hattiesburg. Father Quinn was very much involved with the youth groups including the Youth NAACP and the Catholic Youth Organization, advising and sponsoring the young people on weekly dances, ball games, and fund-raising. But also in promoting the advancement of Civil Rights by organizing boycotts, protests and picketing of whites-only businesses and facilities. Quinn gives a hair-raising account of being shot at as two truck-loads of men attempted to run him off the road as he returned from a meeting at Vernon Dahmer's house. When Martin Luther King, Jr. came to Hattiesburg in 1968, ten days before his death, he took a nap in Father Quinn's parsonage before continuing on his journey.   PHOTO: Associated Press

Editor: My Facebook feed has been filled with news of Bishop John W. Yanta's passing Aug. 6. I also read the breaking news on the Wilson County News website. I have fully realized how very, very fortunate and blessed I was to have then-Father Yanta play such a great part in my youth. So many memories have flooded me and I've wept all morning at the loss of those great strides then-Father Yanta brought about for hundreds of thousands of young people through the Catholic Youth Organization and the San Antonio Neighborhood Youth Organization.

In October of 1966, Father Peter Quinn became pastor of Holy Rosary, a small, black, parish in Hattiesburg. Interested in working with the youth of the community, he formed a group that would later become the Catholic Youth Organization. In this episode, he describes how their young people participated in picketing and boycotts during the Civil Rights Movement. As an activist priest in Hattiesburg in the 1960s, Quinn often received death threats from the Ku Klux Klan. One night, his station wagon was fired on by men in two pickup trucks who tried to force him off the road. Afterwards, he was protected by a group of volunteers called the Deacons of Defense. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. kept a grueling schedule of personal appearances during the Movement. Father Quinn recalls how on King’s last trip to Hattiesburg, just ten days before his assassination, he borrowed Quinn’s bed for a much-needed nap. After King was killed, violence erupted across the nation. Quinn describes leading a protest march through downtown Hattiesburg after pleading with the kids to leave their knives and guns at home.

Paolo was born in Hamilton, Ontario and has lived there for most of his life except for a period in which he lived in Ottawa to earn his Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Ottawa.  After school, he stayed in the nation’s capital for a few years longer to pursue his Chartered Accountant (CA) designation by commencing employment with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).  During his tenure at PwC, he moved back to Hamilton, along with a brief stint in the Windsor, Ontario office. After five years at PwC, Paolo decided to join his family’s business, Salerno Dairy Products.  Established by his grandfather in 1962, the company had been a fixture in his family and in the community.  Salerno was a private, medium-sized business that employed approximately 180 people and manufactured Italian specialty cheeses. Paolo had officially performed his duties as the controller of the organization, but also wore many other hats as these family-owned businesses may require. During his tenure with Salerno, Paolo was also able to obtain his MBA from the Richard Ivey Business School (Western University).  He was with Salerno for 11 years until they sold to another dairy company, Gay Lea Foods.  Paolo remained on with Gay Lea for another 18 months post-sale, in a finance and ERP integration role.   Recognizing that he was not providing enough value in his new role, Paolo decided to leave Gay Lea to change his career path.  The sale of the company had given him the opportunity to carve out a new role in his professional career.  He continues to provide his expertise to small to medium sized businesses in a part-time, CFO consulting role because he understands the challenges that these companies face on a day to day basis.  However, Paolo seeks to develop a family office to manage and govern his family’s assets.  After the sale of the company, the family had lacked the administration piece to maintain a strategic focus on deploying the capital after the liquidity event.  The family had charged Veritage Family Office to help develop a Family Wealth Constitution.  By undergoing this process, the Fidanza family had fostered a means to communicate and govern the direction of the financial wealth. After all the hardships endured by going through the above process, Paolo intends to serve others by sharing his experiences with other families that succumb to the same challenges.  He continues to do so by forging a network of other families and individuals that have sizeable wealth derived from family owned businesses.  Paolo currently works at Brownlow Partners Advisors, where he collaborates with the firm’s clients, along with his own, to provide a comprehensive family office solution.  Paolo is also very active in the community.  As a father, he had volunteered and participated in his children’s many extra-curricular activities.  Currently, he sits as the Finance Chair on the board of the Catholic Youth Organization and is the Vice-President of the Hamilton-Halton Chapter of the Canadian Italian Business Professionals Association. As mentioned, Paolo currently resides in Stoney Creek, and is married with two children.  He enjoys spending time with my family, and partakes in other personal interests such as running, cycling, hockey and golf.
