Our hearts are heavy with the news that a man from Butler, a former fire chief known for his courage and commitment to his community, lost his life while heroically shielding his wife and daughters from harm.
Corey Comperatore’s selfless act in the face of danger speaks to his strength of character, deep faith, and dedication to serving others.
On behalf of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, I extend my condolences to his family and loved ones. We join in prayer that they may feel wrapped in the comfort and love of Jesus.
Let us also take this moment to pray for unity and an end to violence and inflammatory rhetoric in our community and across our nation.
May our Lord grant Mr. Comperatore’s family peace and may this brave man’s soul rest in eternal light.
