He is aware how often our logical and scientific thinking has tended to limit our perception of nature. After being educated at St Ignatius College, Sydney, Patrick entered the Jesuit Order and was later ordained and taught at his former school. After twenty years, he requested permission to leave the religious order as he desired to have his own family and enjoy the companionship of married life.
This brought about a major change to his life as he became exposed to a more varied lifestyle. Moving to America, Patrick completed a master’s degree in social work and then returned to South Australia and married in 1973.
He then worked as a social worker in a variety of settings—with migrant families in Whyalla, with Indo-Chinese refugees in Pennington Hostel, and with the mentally ill at Glenside Hospital in Adelaide and at the Mercy Family Life Centre in Sydney.
This variety of experiences as well as his marriage and raising three children have enabled him to give depth to the story of the romance in his newest work. Dragonfly is his first romance. His earlier three books were real-life stories of family relatives and have sold well.view less
