Dear Father Loomis

Dear Father Loomis,

St. John Vianney once said about parish priests, “The priesthood is the love of the heart of Jesus. When you see a priest, think of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

You epitomize this definition. When we see you, we see the heart of Christ through your service and sacrifice.

Thank you. 

For the years of dedication to this parish. 

For the love you’ve poured out to all of its people.

For your energy, enthusiasm, joy, and reverence.

Thank you for all that you have brought to ABVM and for all that you leave behind with us.

We are so grateful for you, we will miss you, and we love you.

We wish you the best of luck at your new assignment and know that you will bring so much good to the people St. Madeline’s. You will always have a home at ABVM and we will continuously be praying for you.

May God bless you and keep you and may Our Lady protect you always.

In Christ,

The People of Annunciation Parish
