Remembering Fr. John “Jay” Comerford, O.Carm.
On Friday, September 5, we lost a lifelong Carmelite. Fr. John “Jay” Comerford, O.Carm., grew up in a Carmelite parish, attended Carmelite schools, and went on to minister as a teacher in his hometown and at those same schools. The outpouring of love on social media and at his funeral was a powerful testament to the many lives he touched throughout his Carmelite journey.
