Inscription reads 8/14/11 To Mary Jane and Peter Enjoy these stories for young people & me Finbarr M. Corr. He was ordained a priest in the Cathedral of the Assumption in Carlow on June 11, 1960, and emigrated to the US at the end of August of the same year. He served for six years in the inner city of Paterson, New Jersey, at St. Agnes Parish. He received an MS in Pastoral Counseling from Iona College and an Ed.D. in Family Life Education from Columbia University, NYC. Finbarr's life and ministry underwent a dramatic change in 1969 when Bishop Casey appointed him as the first full-time director of the Family Life Bureau. His duties included creating family life programs for all 80 parishes in the diocese. He used the results of his doctoral dissertation to create pre-marriage programs, and he visited all the parishes and preached at all the masses regarding the purpose of the Family Life Movement as a powerful change driver rather than just a vehicle for basic premarital education. Finbarr also initiated a marriage and family counseling program at his office in Paterson and engaged other professional therapists to assist him in providing therapy for all individuals, couples and families who sought help. Based on his experience as a marriage and family therapist and serving as a therapist for Catholic high schools in the Diocese of Paterson, Dr. Corr provides insights and advice through real-life situations he encountered. "Dr. Corr's book Up Close and Personal provides a treasure trove of wisdom that will help many parents meet the challenges of family life, especially when dealing with teenagers. His twenty-two personal stories are gripping and dramatic, while at the same time sources of practical advice gleaned from over forty years of working with families.". Signed.
