Chicago Rev. Prays For Convicted Felons of Daley's Patronage Operation

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Parishioners said a prayer for two of their own during the Wednesday morning mass at Nativity of Our Lord in Bridgeport.

It was a somber prayer for two who've been wronged, the priest said, asking the Lord to watch over them as they begin a challenging journey.


Robert Sorich and Patrick Slattery are preparing to spend years in prison -- beginning this weekend -- after their public corruption convictions were upheld this week by a federal court. The former top allies to Mayor Daley were convicted of running a patronage army out of City Hall.
This is the same church that had a fundraiser for for Robert Sorich in which Chicago Mob member Bruno Caruso said:
"Somebody's in trouble, somebody needs help, you help him."
In Nativity of Our Lord in Bridgeport even the Chicago Mob is welcome.Check out this chart in which Bruno Caruso is on in the middle of the page.
