Brother Joseph Patrick (Augustine) Dougherty died at the age of 77 on August 6 at Audubon Hospital in Louisville, KY. His Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at the St. Xavier High School Chapel, followed by burial in the Resurrection section of Calvary Cemetery in Louisville. Brother Ward O'Connell, Co-Director of Ryken House, delivered the eulogy.
Born on October 8, 1925 in Louisville, Joseph Patrick Dougherty grew up there and graduated from St. Xavier High School in 1943. On September 18 of that year, he entered the Xaverian Brothers. After completing novitiate and taking the name Augustine in religion, he spent one year at Xaverian College, before moving on to teaching assignments at St. Mary's School in Lawrence, MA, during the 1946-47 school year, and at Holy Name Grammar School in Brooklyn, NY, from 1947 to 1955. During the summers of the four years that he was teaching at St. Joseph's Preparatory School in Bardstown, KY, he completed his Bachelor of Science degree from St. John's University in Brooklyn, NY. One school year in 1958-59 spent at St. Patrick's School in Baltimore, MD, preceded twelve years of teaching at Flaget High School in Louisville. In 1971 he moved to Leonard Hall School in Leonardtown, MD, for that school year. The following year he returned to Louisville for the rest of his life. In 1975 he attained Kentucky certification in Library Science and History. After six years on the faculty of St. Xavier High School, he entered a period of volunteer service that he very much enjoyed. At the Speed Art Museum, the oldest and largest art museum in Kentucky, he was a volunteer docent, and in addition to that he also ministered to the elderly.
In his eulogy for Brother Pat, Brother Ward spoke about a "kind, gentle, humble religious Brother." He attributed Brother Pat's strong prayer life to the influence of his parents. A love of prayer was a gift his parents gave to him and his three brothers, Jack, Bill and Father Luke, who entered the Order of St. Benedict. His love for his extended family and the members of the Xaverian family that he entered sixty years ago was always evident. In his final years at Ryken house, he attended to the welfare of his confreres, kept the community library in good order and was very greatful for the assistance he received from the Ryken House staff. Daily Mass and contemplative prayer sustained him and helped him to deal with his declining health.
In his ministries as teacher, librarian and docent, his love of history and his ability to extend it to others made him very effective. He tried to cultivate in his students an interest in local, national and world events. St. X, Flaget and St. Joseph's Prep graduates still praise and thank him for his gift to them. Brother Ward pointed out that he was a walking encyclopedia of the city of Louisville. Given a date, a place or a name, he would readily and confidently fill in the details. The history of art, sculpture and music was of great interest to him, and he delighted in sharing what he learned. In life he gladly shared with others the gifts he had received. Now he enjoys the reward that God has prepared for him.
