Sylum Inspiration: Patrick McKenna
Camelot: Member
Patrick was born in 1966AD, in Armagh, Northern Ireland to Mary Ann McKenna, a former Nun. His biological father is unknown.
She raised him to be a devout Catholic, attending Mass every day of his life, and teaching him that God loved him, and He had a destiny waiting for him.
When he was six years old, he lost his mother in a UVF bombing at Armagh Cathedral – a protest against the visit by a Titular Archbishop on an Apostolic Mission from the Vatican, who had come to Ireland to try and broker peace. The boy’s survival saw him labelled as ‘The Little Miracle of Saint Patrick’.
The Archbishop took Patrick back with him to Italy, formally adopting him, stating that he would raise the boy in God’s Church.
Patrick had the Vatican as his playground and school yard. He remembered most fondly the Vatican Police officer who usually caught him running from the Nuns and dragged him back to his studies.
As he got older, he found himself talking with that same officer for hours, looking to him for wisdom and companionship.
Though he didn’t have to, when he was 18 he demanded that he follow through with his National Service to the Italian Military. Though he never learned to use a gun, he excelled at flying helicopters. Patrick never told the Vatican Police Officer, that he knew it was him who had made sure Patrick was safe during those two years.
When he returned, he dedicated his life to the Church, going through Seminary and becoming a Priest. When his ‘father’ became Pope, he took the position as Camerlengo – much to the dismay of many older men in the Church who had sought the position for themselves.
He was proud to see his friend go on to become Inspector General of Vatican Police.
When his father suddenly died, he was devastated.
The night of Conclave 2006AD, everything changed.

Sylum Announcement: Tarot on the Green
Hey Guys!
A member of Sylum reached out, that they had started a new type of business. Which is awesome love when you guys reach out to share new things!
They asked kindly if I would make a post on the blog, which I was happy to. They offered that if anyone seeks them out on Etsy for a reading, they would donate 50% of that session to upkeep of Sylum. This was very generous of them, and schedule a post to showcase their new endeavor.
I went ahead and had a reading done, was pretty simple to do – especially as not done that before.
For those interested – please stop by their etsy shop and check it out.

Sylum: Member
Matt was born in Denver to Mark & Eleanor Thompson. He was their only child, and raised on the family farm, just outside Denver.
His father’s skills helped them through the Depression, and once the New Deal was enacted Matthew took a job as a carpenter in Denver, Colorado. Where he met Rebecca, a local school teacher. The two were engaged, just before he was shipped out to England during the war. Just before he was sent to the South of England to work on Operation Quicksilver she had sent him a letter, stating she had met someone and was getting married.
Matt focused on the job, ended up meeting MacGyver who was helping with the building of the fake planes, tanks and airfields. When Matt tried to break up a drunken fight, he had been shot by accident. MacGyver offered him a chance to live.

Coffee House Friday
Travel.
Where is your favorite place to go? It could be a one time thing or someplace you always go to.
For me: New Orleans will always be my second home. Living there not so much with the humidity.
