Add PhotosA new rectory was scheduled for occupancy in April of 1965. Father Kearney, in failing health, predicted he would never live to see its completion, and his premonition proved correct. On December 20, 1964, at the age of 68, Father Kearney died suddenly in the rectory. Two days later, with students from St. Raymond School forming an honor guard along the driveway, his body was transported to the Church. Mass was celebrated by Archbishop John Krol on December 23, 1964 with over 75 priests present and the Church filled with caring and grateful worshipers. Fr. Kearney's body was buried on the parish grounds in front of the Church along Vernon Road. The tomb remains today as a monument to his 23 years of forming and leading his flock.
