“Thank you, Dr. Carroll, for all that so many have as a result of Christendom College. For my part, thank you for the strengthening of my faith through the exceptional curriculum, for the Rome program which continues to influence my life, and for my eighteen nieces and nephews who are in existence because their parents met at Christendom. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord. May he rest in peace.”–Ann Schneible ‘04

“Dr. Warren Carroll’s contributions to the Church and to the field of history were extraordinary, and he gave valuable assistance to The Cardinal Newman Society over the years. May God continue to bless your important work and your witness to all of Catholic higher education!” –Patrick Reilly, President, Cardinal Newman Society “As a 2007 graduate, I was among one of the first classes not to know Dr. Carroll as a professor, but I had the pleasure of driving him between his home and the College for several of his monthly lectures at Christendom. It was always such a pleasure to spend time with him. I remember in particular one conversation. I told him I was writing my thesis on a history of the pro-life movement, and I had read about the early involvement of the Triumph magazine, even before Roe v. Wade. I asked him about one of the early anti-abortion protests Triumph sponsored, one of the first in the nation, and he was so excited I knew about it. ‘I was there! I was there!’ he said, as he told me the story. I realized he was a man who knew both the importance of writing history, and of making history. May the Incarnate Christ, He Who Is Truth, embrace him now. Dr. Carroll, you will be dearly missed!–Andrew Bodoh ‘07 “I will always remember how Dr. Carroll brought history to life! He conveyed the characters and events to his students in such a vivid and exciting way. Perhaps more importantly, through his teaching of history, he made the future hopeful. His belief in the power of one person to make a difference is a lesson I try to teach to my children. I will always be grateful. God, rest his soul, and show him the fruits of his work.”–Mary Higby Patryn ‘92 “My parents met at Christendom College in the very early years of the school. So you can say that I owe my existence in part to Dr. Carroll and his apostolate. What an incredible man. Heaven has gained another flame for God. God bless you Dr. Carroll and pray for me as I implement what I learned at Christendom into my own life and therefore spread the Gospel.”–Catherine Briggs ‘11 “I never knew this man, but I owe him so much. He has changed my life through his establishment of Christendom College. He will be in my prayers always. Thank you, Dr. Carroll, for giving me the chance to become a truly Catholic adult.”–Colleen Anderson ‘14
