Brother Patrick Ellis’ Memoir Published

Brother Patrick Ellis has published a book that is both memoir and advocacy, pleading the cause of teaching, while building on the sacredness of the human person. The framework of this book is two-tiered, American and Catholic. Though far from perfect, our teaching practice is a great gift to the world, and its Catholic component crowns it with unique completeness.

Any good school is a wonderful human phenomenon. A good school animated by faith is much, much more. This book is recommended for those considering teaching, and for those long since immersed in it who may relish new insights.

Brother Patrick has been an active educator since 1951. After graduating from Catholic University, as a Christian Brother in training, he began teaching at West Philadelphia Catholic High School for Boys, at the same time attending the University of Pennsylvania where he received a Ph.D. in English in 1960.

In thirty years at La Salle University and six years at Catholic University, Brother Pat never fully left teaching. He served as President of La Salle (16 years) and President of Catholic University (6 years) while serving on many boards and associations (religious, academic and civic).
