A Message From Rev. Hoang M. Tuong Dear Parishioners of St. Louis King of France,

I wish to thank all of you, all of the parishioners and friends who have touched my life during my time at St. Louis King France. I thank you for the love and support you have shown me while I have ministered among you. I am grateful for the times my leadership was accepted and embraced, and I ask for forgiveness for my mistakes.

As I move on to my new parish home, I carry with me all that I have learned at St. Louis King of France. I pray that my time with all of you has served as an influence on your faith and faithfulness. I humbly accept your gratitude, blessings and warm wishes. Spending time with so many of you during my farewell gathering warmed my heart immensely. It opened my eyes to the relationships I have built at SLKF, the laughter we have shared, and the compassion we have provided each other.

I trust that our time together and our parting of ways are pleasing to God. I encourage your continuing ministry at St. Louis King of France. I ask for your prayers as my journey continues. You will always be in my heart, my memories and my prayers.

Yours in Christ, Rev. Hoang M. Tuong
