When I think about the Mount Cashel story, I often remember Brenda Lundrigan. In 1974, when she was 17, her cousins and brothers were living at the
Mount Cashel orphanage. She had heard stories about what was happening
to boys at the hands of the Christian Brothers and was worried sick.
One day, she had heard enough. She put a couple of boys in a taxi and took them to the Social Services head office, demanding that something be done. She wanted to put an end to the abuse right then and there. This admirable young woman paid for the taxi ride with her babysitting money.
