Confessions of a Catholic Schoolboy

A smorgasbord of entertainment and lessons awaits readers as author Joe Farrell releases through Xlibris a unique memoir. Confessions of a Catholic Schoolboy: Jesus Runs Away and Other Stories chronicles his journey as a student who enjoys a carefree life amid schools of rigid discipline and stern religious training. In the early sixties, being in a Catholic school means being compelled to always abide by the rules: pray earnestly when told to do so, study the lessons to answer questions correctly, a âyesâ or ânoâ answer should always be followed by âSisterâ, and never ever do anything that would upset or make the teachers mad. Through vivid narration, Confessions of a Catholic Schoolboy unveils the funny side that lurks behind the austere faÃ§ade of Catholic Schools. It follows the author as he finds himself caught up in different mischief during grade school and to even more grave misbehaviorsâincluding a police arrestâduring high school and college. A baby boomer, Farrellâs life is one that is carved by the tumult of the fifties and sixties and the social and personal dramas that come along with it. His is an interesting wave of colors brightened by adventure, discipline, lessons learned, friendship, and love. Providing a good glimpse into the life of pure Catholic training, Confessions of a Catholic Schoolboy: Jesus Runs Away and Other Stories is a witty revelation of a schoolboyâs shenanigans and the ultimate inspiration one can get from them. This memoir of growing up in the 60âs is full of Farrellâs wit, humor, and irreverence yet itâs a touching and poignant story. A fun and enjoyable read.
