It all began during the start of the Covid crisis and a visit to Enders Island off the coast of Mystic, Connecticut. St. Edmund’s Retreat has it’s home on the island providing many faith based services such as weekend and weeklong retreats. My first introduction to the Island and Father Tom was destined to grow over the years finally acquiring the position overseeing special projects. Since super-storm Sandy the aging seawall has been undermined and finally collapsed on the venerable seaward facing side, leaving the island exposed to erosion and flooding during future periods of rising stormwater. Please visit St. Edmund’s Retreat website at www.endersisland.org for additional information and to contribute to our Seawall Fundraising Campaign.
