Received fellowship 2/14/1966
Named Minister Emeritus of Grosse Pointe Unitarian Church, June, 2009

Rev. Corrado served this congregation for 25 years, making him the only sitting minister many of us had ever known. He masterfully guided us through the trials, tribulations and joys that any congregation experiences as it matures. He left us with countless memories and a priceless legacy of stability and fellowship. The members of and visitors to GPUC during Rev. Corrado’s extraordinary ministry were often treated to music written and performed by him. “Voice Still and Small” “We Will Keep a Place for You”, and “Weaving”, for examples, all became familiar parts of services. He was named “ Minister Emeritus” upon his retirement in the spring of 2009. Departure due to retirement.
