I am so surprised that a man so young would die so suddenly.
He died 24 years and 1 day after his first Mass of Thanksgiving, May 16, 1998.
We went out just a few times before 1992, the year I got married and the year he decided to enter the priesthood.
From what I read of the comments below, he must have been a great priest. It' s too bad that he got sick and died so soon after his retirement.
I'll pray for eternal rest to be granted to his soul and that perpetual light will shine upon him.

My heartfelt sympathy to Fr. Corcoran's family and fellow priests. I was touched by his warmth, intelligence and great love for his vocation and St. Catherine's. What a privilege to get to know this wonderful man, and what a comfort to be able to pray to him always.

Fr. Tom, so deeply sad to hear of your passing. How blessed I was to meet you at Blessed Sacrament in Saugus. What a huge loss we all felt with your departure. Your kindness and thoughtfulness toward myself and my family will never be forgotten. You kept in touch and always remembered my boys by name and asked how they were doing. I will hold dearly how special your blessings were on my Confirmation day. Our deepest sympathies to Fr. Tom´s family and priests. He will be missed, but forever remembered with kindness, and selfless generosity towards others. Rest In Peace Fr. Tom.

Father Corcoran, you are gone too soon. Thank you for the many beautiful holy cards you gave my children. They were always overjoyed to visit you after Mass at SCS to see if you had any new ones. My Jessamine is especially sad at your passing. May your family and loved ones take comfort in their memories of you and in knowing that you are praying for them. May God watch over them for you. Thank you for your many years of service as a faithful priest.

Forever in our hearts.

Fr Tom was a good man and a humble priest that we were honored to know. We worked with him with RCIA at the Saugus Catholic collaborative. His knowledge and kindness was a blessing to the candidates as well as the team. We were saddened by his departure from Saugus. We will miss him. RIP Fr Tom
