Radio Interview: Finding hope in the midst of sorrow February 10, 2025By Catholic Review Staff Catholic Review Filed Under: Books, Feature, Local News, News, Radio Interview Kathy Wandishin’s youngest child, John, was diagnosed with leukemia when he was just 10 years old. For more than five years, he and his family would undergo many unbelievable trials before the young Archbishop Curley High School student ultimately died just one day before his 16th birthday in 2005. In a new book, “Climbing the Rainbow,” Kathy shares her family’s harrowing journey and offers some profound insights about the nature of grief and the importance of hope and trust in God. Kathy is a lifeline parishioner of St. Clare in Essex who now attends Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Essex. She has long worked for the Catholic Church in the Archdiocese of Baltimore, having served at St. Clare, Archbishop Curley, the Catholic Center in Baltimore and the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Baltimore.
