Papa, We will forever cherish our special relationship. Our family was always at home whenever we were together. We are blessed by all that you taught us and keep your words of wisdom close to our hearts. Help us to love Jesus and His Holy Mother, Mary. We trust you are interceding for all of us before the throne of God. Until we meet again, we leave you with hugs and a kiss on both cheeks! Our love and prayers always...

To the family of Fr. Maccarone,
I knew your brother for a short time here in Woodbridge and I must tell you he made a lasting impression on me and my children. His homilies were passionate and thought provoking and we were blessed to have him here. I attended his Memorial Mass this morning in Flemington and was moved by the assembly gathered there for him and was honored to meet his sisters and speak to them about Fr. Maccarone.
God Bless you and may Fr. Maccarone rest in peace.

My family and I were deeply saddened to hear of Father Maccarone's passing. He was truly a Godsend to the parish of St. James in Woodbridge, NJ and especially to our family. He was "OUR SAINT". We were very close to him. My husband did some work for him at his home in Sea Isle City. We send our sincere sympathy to your family and our prayers are with you. The Mass at St. Magdaline's was beautiful and I'm glad I had the pleasure of meeting Father's two sisters. God bless!

My family and friends had the honor of him serving at our Parish of Our Lady of Lourdes in Whitehouse Station NJ. He made such a great impact on my life and many others and his legacy will be forever remembered. People like Father Maccarone do not come by very often, I feel lucky and privileged for him to come into my life. Father, may you rest in peace with God.

To the Family of Father Maccarone- We are deeply sadden by his passing. We loved him dearly. When we were at St. Magdalens Parish in Flemington he changed our lives forever; we saw what it meant to be Catholic. He is now truly a Saint in heaven! We will miss him.

Fr. Maccarone was one priest that always looked out for our unborn children. He was blessed in many ways. We were very shocked on this news of his passing. There are many at Our Lady of Lourdes in Whitehouse Station, NJ that will attend the memorial mass in Flemington for him.

To the Family of Father Maccarone. I just heard of his passing at Mass this morning. What a good and holy priest. He was such an influence on all of the people at St. Magdalen DePazzi in Flemington NJ. I have a cherished photo of us taken at the recpetion we had when he left to become Parish Administrator at St. Ann's in Raritan NJ. This Saturday, June 28th a Memorial Mass will be offered by Father John Barbella, former pastor. I am blessed to join with the choir on that day. He always loved us and we loved him back.

To the family of Father Maccarone- He was my dearest friend when he was in Woodbridge NJ. We somehow lost contact, but his legacy will live on forever in my heart. He visited our school every day an called all of our children "saints". I am personally saddened but I know he is at peace with his Lord.

To the family of Patrick Maccarone,

Our sympathy to all Pat's family as we know what a great loss it is for all who knew Pat.
My family and I first met Pat when he came to Sea Isle and lived many years.

My Childrren were known to Pat as they visited him at the Sands store most days during the summer. When He was ordained we went to the celebration for the South Jersey people. He was a wonderful man and a Greater Priest. Missed by all and in our prayers.

To the Maccarone Family,
We send out our deepest sympathies during your time of loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. We had the pleasure of meeting Father Maccarone while he served as a priest at our parish in Las Vegas and he quickly became our dear friend and advisor in faith. He touched the lives of many people while he resided here and our family will always remember him for his religious teachings and the positive impact they have had on our lives. We were deeply saddened to hear that he had passed away for he was a great family friend, but we know that he is now resting in peace with God!

The St Zepherin Choir of 1991 send our hearfelt sympathy upon Fr. Pat's death. We enjoyed knowing Father Pat while he was studying at Pope John Seminary in Weston. We sang joyfully at his first Mass. We all had a great time at the fun reception put on by Fr. Pat's lovely family. You'll miss Fr. Pat terribly but remember he is in heaven.. I will think of Fr. Pat when I dust my bell collection as I have one with the Last Supper on it from Fr. Pat's very special day.

I am a parishioner of St. Magdalens in Flemington NJ and was in the church choir for 20 years. Father Maccarone always complimented our singing and he gave great homilies and he loved being a priest. I have a picture taken after Mass one Sunday of Father Maccarone with the choir. He will be missed but now is has eternal peace.

To the Maccarone Family,

I offer my prayers and sympathies on the news of Pat's passing. I have known Pat for many years from the time he moved to Sea Isle City and considered him a dear friend to my family and myself. From my first meeting of Pat when he moved to Sea Isle to the many visits to him at his home in Sea Isle he was always sincerely interested in our well being. He knew my chidren from the time they were little and he performed the Wedding for my daughter. We had moved to Central Jersey when he was ordained to the priesthood so we were able to continue our friendship when he was stationed in White House, Middlesex and Woodbury. Once again be thankful for his lfe and know that he is in a place he wants to be.

Dear Maccarone Family,
Please accept my sincerest sympathies on the loss of dear Fr. Maccarone. I was privileged to know Father while he served Our Lady of Las Vegas Parish, Las Vegas, Nevada. His memory lives as many families still have a "Catholic" refrigerator. There are few priests who made a greater positive impression on a school, students, parents, teachers and staff. Fr. Macarrone was one of them. I am saddened to know that he is no longer in the world to bring people closer to God, but I praise God for the gift of his life. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless you Fr. Maccarone!

To the family of Father Maccarone: My sincere sympathy for your loss. While serving in the US Army I met Father at St. Magdalen de Pazzi Parish when visiting family members in Flemington, NJ. His magnificent homilies had a profound effect on me to change my lifestyle for the better. My daughter was age 2 at the time and born out of wedlock. That situation made it difficult to find a priest to baptize her. Fr Macc never gave it a second thought. He accommodated my Army schedule and in a beautful private ceremony baptized her. Today at age 12 she is well on her way to be fully initiated into the Roman Catholic faith. In my 26 year military career I've met many priests around the globe. I tell you truthfully very, very few had the spirituality and dynamic qualities of Fr. Macc. Planet earth is forever poorer for the departure of this great priest - but alas it is heaven's gain!!! May God comfort the Maccarone family.

Father Maccarone was a wonderful, caring priest. My family was privileged to know him when he was stationed at St. James in Woodbridge, NJ years ago. My son was an altar boy and looked up to him. He was also a great influence on the children of the parish school, or his "saints" as he called them. Please know that he touched many lives through his caring ministry. I was sorry to hear of his passing at Saturday evening's mass. We will remember him in our prayers.

May God comfort you as you mourn the loss of your beloved brother! It was an honor to know him and to grow through his great love of Our Heavenly Father! I feel our friendship was ordained by Christ and I will forever be touched by the love his sisters and brothers provided for him through his long illness. Today I rejoice in the knowledge that Fr. Maccarone is resting in the loving arms of Jesus and that we have our own Saint in Heaven. I will always remember our time. I am holding you in my prayers. May God bless each of you!
