Msgr Lau always makes me feel happy. He is filled with so much joy and love in his heart. A priest full of wisdom and compassion. I rarely see him preside mass anymore. I miss attending his Mass services and his homilies. I wish and pray that the Lord continue to bless him with good health, well-being and long life.

[@hansmarkeugene]

It was an honor to serve the devout, Pius-to-God Monsignor Lau as an altar server from the 1990s to 2000s. I appreciated his small jokes in his homilies, and he was always cheery and optimistic about repairing my mistakes when I sought the sacrament of reconciliation with the Lord via him. Monsignor Lau, it is a gift to have you as part of my spiritual path!

[@agneslo9867]

I love his homilies and he sparks so much whenever we speaks with so much fervor for the Lord. God bless Msgr Lau and keep him healthy, well and blessed for a long time to come!! ❤

[@trudypenelope4342]

Thank you Monsignor Francis. You have been used by god to show us how to live life in this crazy and erratic world. To see the simple beauty god has put in this world like the sunlight, nature and animals. In addition, your message of acceptance is a great virtue that i will learn to embrace for the rest of my life. Thank you for being so inspiring. God bless

A faithful servant who gave his all for Church and God. His training and values shine through during Mass.

[@berriwine]

An inspirational insight into Msgr Lau's life and his Happiness. God Bless him.

[@hansmarkeugene]

It was an honor to serve the devout, Pius-to-God Monsignor Lau as an altar server in Cathedral from the 1990s to 2000s. I appreciated his small jokes in his homilies, and he was always cheery and optimistic about repairing my mistakes when I sought the sacrament of reconciliation with the Lord via him. As I become older, I'll recall how much I enjoyed helping Monsignor and learning about faith, hope, and charity from his daily deeds. I'll also recall his inherent tranquility, patience, and obedience in serving the Lord. Monsignor, it is a gift to have you as part of my spiritual path! Continue to praise the Lord, and HE will reward you eternally! I'll pray for you, Monsignor.
