[From Fr.
Corapi Online]
Father John Corapi is what has commonly been called a late vocation. In
other words, he came to the priesthood other than a young man. He was 44
years old when he was ordained. His experiences prior to ordination have
been termed simply astounding, but that is probably somewhat of an
overstatement. They might be called extreme, however.
From small town boy to the Vietnam era US Army, from millionaire
businessman in Las Vegas and Hollywood to drug addicted and homeless, to
religious life and ordination to the priesthood by Pope John Paul II, to a
life as a preacher of the Gospel who has reached millions with the simple
message that God's Name is Mercy!
Father Corapi's academic credentials are quite extensive. He received a
Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Pace University in the
seventies. Then as an older man returned to the university classrooms in
preparation for his life as a priest and preacher.
He received all of his academic credentials for the Church with honors:
a Masters degree in Sacred Scripture from Holy Apostles Seminary and
Bachelor, Licentiate, and Doctorate degrees in dogmatic theology from the
University of Navarre in Spain.
Father is a perpetually professed priest member of the Society of Our
Lady of the Most Holy Trinity (S.O.L.T.).
