“We are truly blessed to have had a priest of such depth, skills and conviction as Msgr. Sammon. His relationship with his parishoners and the special communities he has ministered to throughout his career made him unique and appreciated by many. His personal insight and historical perspective has been invaluable to me over the years and we will always hold him in the highest esteem.” – Bishop Tod Brown
