His latest book is titled, “Saint Joseph and the Carmelite Reform of Saint Teresa of Avila: Father, Teacher of Prayer, Intercessor in Every Need” available from Catholic University of America Press. We learn about Father Chorpenning’s early life, his vocational calling, his ministry as an Oblate and how he became an expert on Saint Joseph and the Holy Family.
