Rev. Hugh J. McLaughlin

So sorry of your loss. We had just had a great coversation at our 50th class reunion and it is so hard to believe he is gone. I remember the many good times we shared at St.Francis while growing up. My prayers and thoughts are with the whole family.

From the members of the Friar Hegarty Division of the Ancient Order of Hibernians of which Fr. McLaughlin was a member: please accept our condolences during this time of trouble. Ar dheis De go raibh se'. (May he be at the right hand of God)

Dear Jane, Just read of your brother, Hugh's, passing. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your sister at this time of loss.

My condolences to all Fathers family & friends.

To sisters and family.You have our condolences and are in our prayers .

With loving memories we will remember Father McLaughlin. A truly dedicated priest to the Sacred Heart Parish and his remarkable faith was a fine example for the youth of the parish. Father possessed a kind-hearted spirit and love for his parish family. He will be greatly missed by so many, but we will share in his joy of having accomplished on earth all that the Lord asked of him and now has been called home to celebrate eternity with the Lord. May God Bless You Father McLaughlin for all that...

We will miss you. We know that you are with our Lord.
