Please pray for the repose of Mr. Tom Kloucek, seminarian of the Archdiocese of Portland.
It is with deep sorrow that we share the passing of our seminarian Tom Kloucek, who passed away unexpectedly following medical complications.
We are thankful that Tom spent 5 days on retreat with his brother seminarians just prior to his passing and we are thankful for that time of prayer and fraternity that they shared together.
Tom was a man of great faith who loved Jesus Christ and the Church. In reflecting on his vocation, he once wrote:
“Praying in front of the Blessed Sacrament was where I finally understood Jesus’ sacrifice of Himself at the crucifixion… He died on the cross for you and for me. Jesus loves me.”
Those who knew Tom encountered in him a sincere love for the Lord, a thoughtful and searching faith, and a genuine desire to give his life in service to the Church as a priest.
Please join us in praying for the repose of Tom’s soul, for his family and loved ones, his brother seminarians, and all who mourn his passing.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace. Amen.
