Not sure what to say?

When my dad, Bob Clark, was in his final few months Fr Auve was constantly there anytime we called. My dad took great solace in his presence and we were blessed to have Father there on my Dads last day with us. Fr. Auve was always there for his parishioners and we are eternally grateful for his being a part of our lives.

Msgr Perron was a very great collaborator during the years I was Vicar General in the Diocese of Spokane.....particularly in the time when we shared Bishop Skylstad . He was a true servant of the Gospel and the Church. Now may he rest in peace. Msgr John Steiner

RIP. May you be at peace now. A kind and funny man. He was the man who married my wife and I in 2017. We were nervous and my wife and I didn't realize she was trying to put my wedding band on the wrong hand/ finger, and in a low voice he was saying "wrong hand"... We were probably among the last marriage he oversaw. I remember when he fell and was injured.. missed him as a pastor also. A good man with a good sense of humor. God bless you sir. Thank you for making us laugh at ourselves during...

I didn't know Fr. Auve personally, but rather through his sister Maryalice Auve Fontaine, a classmate of mine at St. Paul's Cathedral School in Yakima. Blessings on Fr. Auve for a life of pastoral ministry well lived and condolences to his family and to those whom he served in ministry.

Fr. Auve was a warm and friendly pastor and a man dedicated to helping others become closer to God. He baptised one of our grandchildren and was a helpful confessor and guide.

I was significantly impressed and spiritually moved by Father Auve's accomplishments. He was a Great Man in Jesus Christ. I did see and experience the movement of the Holy Spirit in the Mass he participated in. I also saw healings and a kind Charismatic presentation in his Masses. Thank you our Friend Pastor Auve.
