Mike Pasquarello and Anthony Adamita, who are seniors at St. Edmund’s Prep, share some of their experiences from the last four years. Four years ago they were freshman just trying out for the team; now they are captain and assistant captain of the varsity hockey team, leaders in the unique retreat program offered by the school, and role models for their siblings, friends, and classmates. They’ve come a long way in a short time, and they embody some of the most important principles of the Catholic church: faith, charity, and dedication.
