The Pope’s Blueprint: Living the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy

Father
Dennis M. Corrado, c.o., who New York Magazine called "One of the
best preachers in New York City" in 2009, will present a special Advent
mission at St. Paul Roman Catholic Church in Greenwich, Connecticut on Monday,
December 16th, Tuesday, December 17th, and Wednesday,
December 18th 2013 at 7:30 PM.

The
mission entitled "The Pope’s Blueprint: Living the Corporal and Spiritual
Works of Mercy,” will mark Fr. Corrado’s return to the Saint Paul community. In
2009, Fr. Corrado led a successful mission on forgiveness during the Lenten
season at the parish. The Works of Mercy are written tenets found throughout
Christianity and have been traditionally divided into two categories; the Corporal
Works of Mercy, which concern the material needs of others, and the Spiritual
Works of Mercy, which concern the spiritual needs of others.

The
mission will focus on the different ways one can incorporate Pope Francis’
edict in our daily lives. Pope Francis has been noted for his humility and his concern for the poor and people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and faiths.

“Advent
is a period of preparation each year and the perfect time to rekindle one’s
relationship with Christ,” said Rev. Frank Allen Winn, Pastor of St. Paul. “We
are delighted to welcome Father Corrado back to St. Paul for this very timely
mission,” he added.

Father
Corrado is the Provincial Superior of the Oratorian Fathers and Brothers of St.
Philip Neri in Brooklyn, New York. He has preached in more than 15 states
and foreign countries, and the New York Daily News has referred to
him as "One of the religious leaders of New York for the 21st
Century." 

The
Advent mission is free and open to the general public. Refreshments will be
served.
