FR. CARROLL WARNER
WASHINGTON, D.C.-Fr. Carroll Warner, OFM Cap., 88, died Tuesday, Jan. 26, 1999, at Providence Hospital in Washington after a short illness.
Born in East Pittsburgh, Pa., on Aug. 3, 1910, Fr. Carroll was the son of the late Lawrence E. Warner and Nellie Scanlon Warner, and was a member of St. William Parish in East Pittsburgh.
Fr. Carroll attended St. Fidelis Seminary in Herman, Pa., from 1924-1930, entering the Capuchin Franciscan Order and professing temporary vows in 1931. He was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop John McNamara of the Archdoicese of Washington, on June 9, 1936, at the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington.
For the first nine years of his priesthood, Fr. Carroll worked as a Catechetical instructor for outstation missions of St. Mary's Parish in Herman. This assignment was followed by almost 40 years of parish work in Wheeling, W.Va., Atwood and Victoria, Kan., Cresaptown, Md., Rochester and Pittsburgh, Pa., and Roswell, Ohio. Known for his gentle presence, his keen sense of humor and quiet prayerfulness, Fr.
