St. John Eudes Family mourns the Loss of Fr. Dave Ayotte, former associate pastor.

Dear St. John Eudes Family,

With hope in God’s unending love and comfort I share with you that last evening our beloved Fr. David Ayotte passed over to be in the full presence of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

We are most grateful to God for the time that Fr. Dave shared with our community and will forever carry him in our hearts. At the height of the pandemic, Fr. Dave encouraged us with these words: “in a certain way we’re entering into a space where something new is emerging…some new way of being church that we weren’t expecting before…but the Lord could be calling us to something much greater and there’s no way we can silence the action of the Holy Spirit…we might fight and oppose, but what the Lord is actually doing is doing something greater inside of us that we wake up to the real I AM; God in our life.”

St. Therese of Lisieux, at her passing, says that she is going to a place to continue to do good on earth. We trust that Fr. Dave will be sharing the petals of God’s love all over from his new assignment in heaven.

Together with you, receiving and sharing God’s love,

Father Ethan
