Fr. Than Vu, former LSU chaplain, has passed away

quote:

St. Aloysius Parish in Baton Rouge has announced the death early this morning of the Very Rev. Than Ngoc Vu, its pastor and diocesan vicar general. Father Than, 56, succumbed peacefully after a long battle with cancer.

Funeral arrangements will be announced when these are finalized. Please pray for the repose of his soul, and in sympathy with his sister, other family members, fellow clergy, parishioners and all others who mourn his passing. "May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace."



May his memory be eternal

Wow. Thanks for posting, I wasn't aware that he was sick. I was fortunate to have been a member of St. Patrick's when he was pastor there. He knew everybody's name and memorized every Gospel reading. Amazing priest, a big loss for the diocese.

I knew him at Christ the King. He was an inspiring and humble person with a great sense of humor. He knew every Gospel by heart and never read from the book. The diocese won't be the same without him. He will be deeply missed by many.

He was such a good person. I will always remember being in awe when we would memorize the whole gospel no matter how long it was. I don't think I ever saw him look down at the Bible when reading it.

If you needed to pass a final, he was the man to talk too.........such a calming voice.

I admitted to him I didn't study for one at all until night before, we said a prayer..........BOOM B+

Could not have said it better. Truly one of the kindest human beings I have ever met. The amount of respect I had for that man can never be duplicated.

Does anybody know what happened to the organist that collapsed during mass over the holidays?
