Guest Speaker on Religious Liberty
The Reverend Philip K. Eichner
President of Kellenberg Memorial High School, Past President of Chaminade High School, and Chairman of the Board, Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights
After graduating from Chaminade high School in 1953, Father Philip entered the Marianist novitiate. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Dayton. He attended the Marianist International Seminary in Fribourg, Switzerland, and received his graduate degree in theology from the University of Fribourg prior to his ordination in 1966. In 1967, he became superior of the Marianist Community and President of Chaminade High School, a position he held for twenty-five years. Under his guidance, Chaminade experienced tremendous growth in both the physical plant and student enrollment while developing a national reputation for academic excellence and fostering vocations to the Church. Father Philip has served as president of Kellenberg since its founding. In its 22-year history, Kellenberg Memorial has developed a strong academic reputation as a coeducational institution of 2,500 students in grades 6-12. His role as chief administrator recently expanded to include a local Catholic elementary school, St. Martin de Porres Marianist School in Uniondale.
