Fr. Patrick W. Collins, PhD, is an outstanding author, preacher, musician and university professor. He senses that his principal vocation is to contemplative living—out of which his various ministries flow. In addition to numerous books and articles, Fr. Collins has produced forty-five TV programs, and a number of videos, among them Thomas Merton: Man, Monk, Myth with Music. Fr. Collins presents various kinds of retreats, missions, and workshops, including what he calls "spiritual concerts" which combine texts and tunes for spiritual insight and growth. This approach gives a feelingful dimension to the meaning of the words and connects head with heart, reason and imagination. He calls it "Music with a Message."

Father Pat is excited to announce that his latest book on Thomas Merton, has just been published 15 April 2021 by Liturgical Press:

A Focus on Truth: Thomas Merton's Uncensored Mind: Patrick W. Collins; Foreword by Jonathan Montaldo: 9780814688496: Litpress.org : Paperback
