A couple of things I remember about Father McCarthy from my early years at Maryville - I was in 3rd grade - around 1953. The day the Wheeling Bank was robbed and the robbers crashed their car into the...

Just a great priest, I remember the day I met him for the first when I was a kid out at Maryville.....he welcomed me and ask me my name....I told him Art Contreras......he said "I won't forget your name and if I do, I'll give your a dime" .....days later he came up to me and said "Hello Art Contreras"....what's amazing about this, I was one of a thousand kids out there and he made it point to know all of our names. I never forgot that and I'll never forget Fr. McCarthy

I am sorry to hear about Fr. McCarthy's death. I wish the family well and may
GOD be with you!

In the name of all the Sisters of Providence of Montreal Canada, who had the pleasure of knowing Father McCarthy
from their early years at Maryville Academy, I want to offer my sincere condolence to the family.

Father was well appreciated and an inspiration for all of us by his attentive listening and by his compassionate heart,
his good humor and great respect for everyone.
So many wonderful memories remain with us and we will keep him and his family in our...

I'll always remember Fr. McCarthy as the one who taught us "Knights of the Altar" how to serve mass, and he was a really swell person.

Condolences to fr Jim. May your good brother whom I recall from seminary days rest in peace!

A "One-of-a-kind" Pastor. May he rest in peace.

The very first time I heard Fr. Warren preach, one Sunday morning at St Marcelline, in 1978, was the first time I began to understand and love the " Kingdom of God". That changed my life forever, I have been seeking it ever since. He was the greatest preacher I have ever heard.He was the image of Jesus .
