Family and Friends of Corky Corcoran:
On, Monday, November 24th, Corky Corcoran (Dad) suffered a major stroke effecting his sight, speech, and movement on the right side of his body. In addition he was recently diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. Dad was devoted to the Immaculate Heart and Sacred Heart. During his stay in California he was instrumental in helping build a Shrine to the Blessed Mother. The parish and shrine is named, Our Lady of Peace. The pastor who had the vision for the Shrine was, Monsignor John J. Sweeny. Father Sweeney was dedicated to the Family Rosary, Perpetual Adoration (24/7), and the Sacraments, especially the Sacraments of Penance and Eucharist. He died in the air of Sanctity on, March 7, 2006. Since Dad shared a close friendship with Monsignor Sweeny the Corcoran Family is asking anyone interested to recite the attached prayer for nine days, December 9th until December 18th (the anniversary of Father’s ordination). Our request is that Dad will make a full and speedy recovery. The hand written prayer (Learning Christ) was found at Fathers’ bedside after he passed away.
