O Almighty Father, You did raise Your servant, Father Theophan to the sacred priesthood of Your only Begotten Son Jesus Christ,according to the Order of Melchisedech,giving him the sublime powerto offer the Eternal Sacrifice, to bring the Body and Blood of Your Son Jesus down upon the altar,and to absolve the sins of men in Your own Holy Name.
We beseech You to reward his faithfulnessand to forget his faults,
admitting him speedily into Your Holy Presence,there to enjoy forever the recompense of his labours.Amen

It was with great sorrow that we received the news of the death of Father Paul. He was a wonderful Man and a friend of the Dagher family in Lebanon. We still remember how he used to welcome us in USA. Our prayers and thoughts are with you Terry, Mary and Nick. May our mighty God give you strength to overcome this loss . May his soul Rest In Peace and his memory be Eternal

"Dear Presbytera Terri,

Christ is risen!

Please accept the condolences of the entire Dorham family. Fr. Theophan was a wonderful priest and a great example to me. I enjoyed every interaction with him, and always found him helpful and kind. He shared more than a few words of wisdom and was alway willing to provide wise counsel.

May God grant his soul to rest in a place where there is no pain, no grief, no sighing, but everlasting life.

Fr. Theophan was a great blessing to Thomas More College. He was an excellent chaplain: he had a truly fatherly presence about him. He will be missed. I give many thanks for his witness of faith and service to God and his fellow men.

Dear Presbytera Terri,

Christ is risen!

My family joins me in extending to you and to your beloved children, Mary & Nicholas, our heartfelt sympathy on the loss of Fr. Theophan.

May the Good Lord welcome him among the Saints and send the comfort of the Holy Spirit upon you all.

Christ is risen and He will raise us with him in his great mercy and love for mankind.

All members of the family, living and deceased, will be remembered with my regretted friend Fr. Theophan in the Divine Liturgy on Sunday April 25, 2021 at 10 a.m.

May his memory be eternal in Our Lord's Heart and the hearts of all those who gad the privilege to know and befriend him!

In Christ's love,
Fr. Alam & family

Fr. Theophan brought the Sacraments to our whole community in NH over the years, and there is no greater thing for which a man can be remembered. May God reward him for sharing with us the graces of baptism, confirmation, the Blessed Eucharist, and Holy Matrimony. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.

Our deepest sympathy for Terry and the family.
God Bless Father Theophan. He was so likable and easy to talk with. May his memory be eternal.

So many happy memories raising all our children over the past two decades. May Fr. Theophan rest in the Lord.

Dear Terri, Mary and Nicholas.. We are so sorry....Our world has lost a kind, loving, caring, holy, man of God. He brought the human likeness of Jesus to many.
He fought the good fight and has earned his reward , we pray..May Our Lord Jesus and His blessed Mother Mary, grant you consolation and peace. May Fr. Theophan's memory be eternal in the mind and heart of God. Our hearts are sad. With love and prayers, Ted and Dolly

Fr. was a great and thoughtful man, and a gentle and wise priest. We will miss him. All of Thomas More College mourns the loss, but we are grateful to God for the many blessing we received through him. Our condolences and prayers to his family and the parish. May his soul receive the reward of a good and faithful servant and may he rest in peace.

I did not know Fr Theophan personally, but he made an impression for me during communion because he was approachable and remembered my name each and every time. This made the experience all the more powerful. Thank you for the "little" things. Steve Kalil
