Finally! On June 9, 2020 , the story of six months in a diocesan priest’s life has been completed.
THANK YOU!
With a grateful heart, I would like to thank all of the Anonymous Men and Women I interviewed and drew inspiration from - some of whom I pestered with endless questions!
And a special thank you to everyone else who helped me put this project together: William Dohar, Michael Pappas, Willy T Golden, David Ruettiger, Erin Stephanie, Richard Woo, Sr. Maureen O’Brien, BVM †, David Miles & the Church of 8 Wheels, The Center SF, Michael Evernden, Katie Lacz, Sr. Mary Frances Seeley, OSF, Bob Pierson, Patrick Michaels, Rev. Lyle Beckman, Dr. Patsy Menefee, Felicia Woods, Barry Venditti & Tom Wade. Last but not least, I thank the Holy Spirit for infusing me with this mission, and guiding me on this journey of darkness, light, humanity, humor, compassion, friendships and faith.
Nine years since inception to completion = 7 ½ years of research, writing and rewriting, then 16 months of illustrating (and still rewriting!) the final pages. 68 episodes = 426 pages. This story was drawn from research, as well as from the lives of actual priests. It is as honest a portrayal as I could make it, and has been a true learning experience and labor of love.
DEDICATION
To the Catholic men of the cloth. Thank you for your dedication and spiritual guidance.
