Parish Memories | 9/11

“…it’s 25 years ago. I find that hard to believe. Yeah. Because I could tell you it was yesterday that Joe knocked on the sacristy door and said, “Come up and watch this. There’s something happening.”

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.
