About Father Corey Brost:

Fr Corey Brost, CSV, is a member of the Clerics of St. Viator, a religious order of brothers, priests and lay associates. He joined the order in 1987 and has served since then as a religious educator, classroom teacher and high school administrator. He served as president of St. Viator High School in Arlington Heights from 2013-2016. He left with support from the Viatorians to work full time as an advocate for immigrant rights and interfaith bridge-building.

He currently is executive director of Viator House of Hospitality, a northwest suburban interfaith program that provides a home and services for up to 25 young men, 18-23 years old, who've fled their homelands, are seeking asylum in the U.S. and have no family to live with while they await their legal proceedings.

He also co-founded the Children of Abraham Coalition in 2010 to counter the increasing faith-based prejudice he saw in our nation and world. The Coalition, a 501(c) 3 non-profit located in the northwest suburbs, plans events for all ages that promote interfaith relationships, reverence and literacy. It is governed by a board of Muslim, Jewish and Christian leaders, one third of them high school and college age.
