Reflections of a Pioneering Priest
-by Father William Treacy

In this warm, honest, and inspiring book, Father Treacy tells of the people and experiences that filled his 60 years of ministry in the Pacific Northwest. Always the pioneer, the Irish-born priest is best known for his work with Rabbi Raphael Levine on the ground-breaking, interfaith discussion program, “Challenge,” which aired on KOMO-TV from 1960 to 1974. In 1967, Father Treacy and Rabbi Levine founded Camp Brotherhood, a place where people al all religions and races can feel at home and share with each other. Fr. Treacy’s memoir tells a story and teaches in honest, unassuming language. The story is of Fr. Treacy’s own life and priestly ministry, of the challenges he faced, the graces he received, and the people whom he served; people who, in turn, provided to him glimpses of God. The teaching is about how to live with openness, gratitude, imagination and a heart expanding ever wider in its capacity to love.

To Love Is to Live
-by Rabbi Raphael H. Levine

Rabbi Raphael H. Levine was born in 1901 in Vilnius, Lithuania. At the age of eight, he immigrated with his family to the United States. They settled in Duluth, Minnesota. He graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree as well as a Law Degree from the University of Minnesota. After practicing law for a short time, Rabbi Levine decided to pursue his interest in teaching about Judaism. Though raised in an Orthodox Jewish family, Rabbi Levine chose to train as a Reform rabbi at the Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati. He graduated from rabbinical school in the midst of the Depression. His first position was in Liverpool, England. In 1942 he became the rabbi of Temple De Hirsch in Seattle where he served until his retirement in 1970. He died in 1985 from injuries suffered in a car accident. Throughout his career, Rabbi Levine was committed to promoting a dialogue between faiths.

Love Bears All Things
-by Father William Treacy

Father William Treacy was born in Borris-in-Ossory in south central Ireland in 1919. In 1932, he left for St. Kieran’s College, a boarding school 30 miles from his parents’ home. It was during that time that Father Treacy decided to become a priest and in 1937, entered St. Patrick’s Seminary, Maynooth. He was ordained in June 1944. In 1945, while the Second World War was still raging, Father Treacy left for Seattle, Washington to fill a temporary vacancy at St. Alphonsus Church. In 1989, he retired after 50 years of service in Washington State. In addition to his duties within his parishes and interfaith projects, Father Treacy was active in faith-based and service organizations that provide aid to the poor as well as those in spiritual need, both at home and overseas. Today, Father Treacy continues to deliver his message of the importance of service and interfaith communication.
