Not sure what to say?

I met Msgr. Carr in the early 90's. He was one of my favorite people. I met him when I started attending the Masses on Tuesday and Thursday during Lent in Pitman. I always felt so fortunate to attend his Masses, because he gave meaning to his homilies. I felt that he was trying to make me think and become a better person. When I pray for vocations, I always ask to call more people like him. He was the best. He was dedicated, down-to-earth and special. My family was truly blessed by...

May peace&comfort fall upon your remaining family&friends.Thank-you for all the help&guidance you brought to our family.We all love you and will meet again in heaven.

My deepest condolences to Msgr. Carr's family. He was truly a light in life and a dear friend. His voice and words, his smile, his kind words, and big hugs will stay with me forever. He taught me both the meaning of grace and how to keep the faith, even when things seemed truly unjust. Sincerely, Christy

There was only one Monsignor in my life from the day he came to Mary Mother and we had Masses in
the VFW hall. Monsignor married my husband and I, performed our children's baptism and renewed our vows at 25 years. He was the first person who ever called me Maddie and always made me feel special. His love of God was in every word he said and every action he took. He was an amazing
man and I loved him dearly. My heart is heavy with the loss of this tender soul. To his family I extend my...

Our love and prayers go out to you and your family. You will always have a spot in our hearts. Say hello to our parents when you get to heaven. We love and will miss you.

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always

I am so sorry for your loss. Uncle Jim sounded like a wonderful man and I know will be greatly missed by many. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. xoxo
