Your were the most wonderful person of all. You married my parents, you baptized me, 1st communion and confirmation, all in Bay City. That is a wonderful small town to have had such a wonderful pastor and to have lived there many years. You will truly be missed. My prayers go to the rest of the people at St. Dominic Village in Houston. God Bless all of you.

I only got to know Father Shannon in his last 2 years at St. Dominic's.....A wonderful servant of Christ, he still nearly always had a smile when I dropped by to say hello while visiting his neighbor and table-mate, Father Jacques. I will miss him.

Having visited you at St.Dominic Father I know you were tired. You were one of the best priest I have ever known.

Father Shannon was an amazing person. He would come over on Sundays for my mom's breakfasts of chorizo mexicano, homemade chile & tortillas. He never judged us...he just loved his parish and all the people in it. He cared. He will be missed.
