Concelebrants of the Mass included: Father Richard Kilcomons, St. Andrew’s pastor, and Father Kevin Corcoran, diocesan vice chancellor and the Bishop’s priest-secretary. Assisting was Deacon Richard Goglia.
The history of St. Andrew’s began in 1938 when Mass was first celebrated in the renovated Passaic almshouse on Mount Prospect Avenue in the Richfield section of Clifton. The property was eventually purchased and a church was built in 1940 and subsequently enlarged in 1963.
