Named Minister Emeritus of Grosse Pointe Unitarian Church, June, 2009

Rev. Corrado became the virtual definition of a Unitarian minister to many while at GPUC, since serving this congregation for 25 years made him the only sitting minister many had ever known. He was the church to many, and the church was him. Much like a father figure, he masterfully guided us through the trials, tribulations and joys that any congregation experiences as it matures. 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.
