Patrick Temple-West, the late founding director of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia’s Nutritional Development Services, was recognized May 15 by the establishment of a permanent scholarship in his name by St. Joseph’s University’s Academy of Food Marketing.
The recognition is especially appropriate because he was initially on loan to the Archdiocese by the Academy of Food Marketing when he became the director of NDS, which itself is probably the most enduring legacy of the Cardinal’s Commission on Human Relations, established by the late Cardinal John Krol.
