“Wholeness. It all comes back. It’s all a circle.”–Pat Conroy, The Prince of Tides. Explore the faith and spirituality of best-selling author Pat Conroy (1945–2016) as reflected in his turbulent life and beloved books—from his Roman Catholic upbringing to The Citadel’s honor code, from themes of spirituality in his novels and memoirs to his life of service as an educator and mentor, and from his connections to his “second church” at First Presbyterian Church of Beaufort to his final resting place in an African American Baptist cemetery on St. Helena Island. Presented by the nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center's executive director Jonathan Haupt, this inspirational program includes excerpts from writings by and about Conroy as well as published and unpublished photographs.
