“Msgr. "Father Joe" Corley embodied the essence of a good priest, executing his job with efficiency and compassion, never losing sight of the human impact of his or the archdiocese's decisions. He was an avid advocate not only for his beloved BVM parish, but for other parishes for whom he was tasked with being a liaison to the archdiocese. A former teacher, Father Corley also appreciated the arts & had a great sense of humor. This retired reporter will miss him & his banana bread. -- Patti Menge”
