The Catholic Teacher

Written in a spirit of humility, graced with an ecumenical and interreligious air, and coming from an evident place of deep faith, James D. Kirylo underscores the interweaving link between a contemplative way of being and what it means to live an active faith life. Truly this book is a necessary read for all Catholic educators, really for all social justice workers.

A hopeful, heart-warming narrative on what it means to teach in the light of faith. Throughout the reading of this text, I felt very connected to God as it relates to the Latin American struggle we daily see in our classrooms.

James D. Kirylo illustrates and fosters his conviction that a Catholic teacher is one who engages and draws others from a well-informed, radical lived faith. An educator in and beyond the classroom, Kirylo is a challenging and compelling voice for Christian seekers. His teaching has the power of credibility. * Sister Marie Pappas, C.R., Host of Pathways of Learning, Catholic Channel, Sirius Xm, National Radio, Former Associate Superintendent for Catholic Schools, Archdiocese of New York, USA *
Thoughtfully drawing from the social teachings of the Church and skillfully utilizing a liberation theology lens, The Catholic Teacher is essential reading for those who seek to make connections relative to education, emancipation, spirituality, and religion. * Petar Jandric, Zagreb University of Applied Sciences, Croatia and University of Wolverhampton,
