Is that a Buck-ism

***********************

I first heard that thought expressed forty years ago. By a devout young Catholic mother intent on taking on the Catholic Church ,on behalf of Catholic families, starting with the Toronto Archdiocese and the late Philip Archbishop Pocock.

Joan Donnelly of the Toronto Donnellys married Dominic McKenna and raised a family of eleven children and two foster children in a frame house they built at the top of the bank of the Holland River in Holland Landing..

As the family grew, the house expanded.

They formed a small organisation of Catholic families and I was a part of it for a while

As well as raising and working to provide, Joan and Dominic both took post secondary courses leading to B.A.s at York University. Joan became a teacher of business skills at Huron Heights High School.

Dominic died in mid- life and Joan raised the family by herself.

Last I heard of her was that she would likely join a Catholic Community out west.

I first heard the word antediluvian from Joan, in connection with the male dominated church which she was striving to make more reflective of its membership.

The community is full of heroes undertaking monumental challenges of their own free will.

Joan Donnelly Mc Kenna crossed my path and never again left my consciousness
