Reverend Monsignor Joseph Dooley

Your 5 th anniversary with Jesus....time sure does have a way of flying. You always said time was like a roll of toilet paper-the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes. Much reflection on life these last two years & seeing just how precious life is especially with all those I have lost......covid being a huge culprit. So many fond memories of you, your sermons, your generosity and kindness. I am forever thankful that God put me in your path as I am so much better for it. Rest...

Gone but never forgotten Msgr. Just telling the family about that Christmas 1990 and coming into St Rocco's for the first time as we just moved to Forks Township and needed to find a spiritual home. I had been away for 5 years ,from the faith and after one Mass with you as celebrant I have been practicing ever since. I know you are rejoicing in heaven with the angels and saints as you earned your just reward. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. Please continue to watch over us and...

We can hardly believe that two years have passed since you were called home to heaven. I have kept you close in thought and prayer. I pray for you often but realize you must be in heaven as God has shown favor with you for all you have done while here with us. I am forever grateful for having the gift of our acquaintance and the wisdom you bestowed upon me and all of the people you ministered to. You can still hear some of your most famous quotes echoed throughout our home and even into my...

You were always there for me. No matter where I went around the country you were always there to be my spiritual guide.

So many times through so many trials you were the pillar I could lean on.

So happy Ken and I were able to come to you to have our marriage validated.

I will miss you forever.

Thank you Monsignor Dooley for inviting us to Mass at your home after you retired in Bethlehem. You were great with my son that day when he questioned a few scriptures in the Bible. You had a down to Earth way of talking to each and every person, like a grandpa would talk to his grandchildren. My husband, who is hard to get to Mass, was the first one in the car when you were presenting the Homily. You were a special person and especially a holy example in our lives. You'll be missed very...

Just realized the address for the church is incorrect in the obituary. The zip should be 18020. The address at zip 18017 is another location.

MSGR Dooley my family and I were very fortunate to be a part of your parish while you were at St Rocco's church. I will always remember your famous weekly bulletins and I think of you when we sing "Let there be peace on Earth" your famous line "nice and loud now" You were one of a kind.

And I will never forger the two collections----The Dooley Daily Double <3

You Msgr. Dooley were always in my thoughts and prayers. You brought me back to the Faith that Christmas Eve Mass in 1990. I have echoed many of your phrases to my own children over the last 23 years. My favorite being "If you play now, you will pay later but if you pay now you'll play later". I have grown much deeper in my Faith and in all aspects of my life, because of you. I have so much to thank you for. You were always so kind and generous when we lost our children due to prematurity and...
