  • CHANGE IN MASS SCHEDULE SATURDAY FEB. 23

    Feb. 23rd, Mass will begin at 4:30pm (not 5pm) to accommodate the Knights of Columbus Beefsteak Casino night, beginning at 5:30pm

  • phony emails and phone calls

    Someone with an affiliation with the parish (parishioner, staff, etc.) had their address book hacked.  The hackers are using the email addresses and, in some instances phone numbers, to impersonate Msgr. Carroll and social engineer others in that address book.  Don’t respond to any of these solicitations.  To protect yourself, please change your email password as you could have been the  party compromised. 

  • mESSAGE FROM MSGR. CARROLL

    Dear Parishioners,
    As you are aware, Bishop Serratelli has extended my pastorate almost three years since I turned 75 on July 28, 2015.  He called me on December 6th and told me he was making some clerical changes while he was still Bishop, and that I would be retiring on March 1, 2019.
    My plan is to retire to my condo in Keyport, NJ.  As soon as I am settled, I will inquire to surrounding parishes to see if they need help with Masses.  With the approval of the new Pastor, I will return to OLM for some weddings and other Sacraments I had planned to celebrate.
    I will always be grateful to God and to you for making these past almost 28 years the best years of my life. 
    Yours in Christ,
    Fr. Carroll
