Rev. Thomas (Siew Pew) Loh CDD 羅秀彪神父

羅秀彪神父簡介

羅秀彪神父為主徒會會士，生於新加坡，自幼在馬來西亞檳城州成長並接受教育。羅神父出身於虔誠的天主教家庭，家中成員包括父母及一位妹妹。

羅神父的父母常與他分享一個特別的經驗：其母親在懷孕期間曾有過一個耐人尋味的夢。夢中，她看見一位身穿白袍的老者站在一塊巨石之上，懷抱一名男嬰，並對她說：「接受這男嬰吧，他長大後，我要把他帶到山上去。」言畢，老者大笑離去。這個夢被家人視為天主的啟示，預示這名男嬰將來要奉獻自己，走上司鐸之路。在父母常年的鼓勵之下，羅神父幼小的心靈中，早已悄然萌生了聖召的種子。

在參加主徒會舉辦的聖召營，並經過長時間的祈禱與分辨後，羅神父於二零零零年二月進入主徒會望會。半年後，他被派往台灣陽明山初學院，接受為期一年的初學陶成，並於二零零一年九月一日在台北新莊會院宣發初願。

初願後，羅神父在台灣總修院及輔仁大學神學院接受神哲學與司鐸培育課程。其間，於二零零三年至二零零四年間，奉派返回馬來西亞，在八打靈聖依納爵堂及剛恆毅研究中心進行培育與學習。二零零七年六月完成神學課程後，羅神父回到馬來西亞八打靈聖依納爵堂，從事牧民實習工作。

二零零八年八月二十五日，羅神父於馬六甲會院宣發永願，正式成為主徒會會士；三個月後，領受執事聖秩。二零零九年二月二日，羅執事與另外四位執事於吉隆坡聖若望主教座堂，由吉隆坡總主教巴吉安祝聖為司鐸。

晉鐸後，羅神父繼續留在八打靈聖依納爵堂服務。二零零九年十月十五日，羅神父接受修會新的派遣，前往加拿大多倫多聖曹桂英堂，展開全新的福傳使命。

羅神父自二零零九年十月十六日至二零一七年五月三十一日，擔任聖曹桂英堂副本堂司鐸；自二零一七年六月一日起，出任該堂主任司鐸，任期至二零二四年八月三十一日。二零二六年一月二日，羅神父再次回應修會派遣，出任救世主堂主任司鐸，繼續為天主子民服務。

Biography of Fr. Thomas Loh

Fr. Thomas Loh is a member of Congregation of the Disciples of the Lord (Congregatio Discipulorum Domini). He was born in Singapore and grew up and received his education in the state of Penang, Malaysia. He comes from a devout Catholic family, with his parents and one younger sister.

Fr. Thomas’s parents often shared with him a remarkable experience: during her pregnancy, his mother had an unusual and meaningful dream. In the dream, she saw an elderly man dressed in a white robe standing on a large rock, holding a baby boy in his arms. The old man said to her, “Accept this baby boy. When he grows up, I will take him up the mountain.” After saying this, the old man laughed heartily and flew away. The family regarded this dream as a sign from God, foretelling that the child was called to become a priest. With the constant encouragement of his parents, the seed of priestly vocation quietly took root in Fr. Thomas’s young heart.

After participating in vocation camps organized by the Congregation of the Disciples of the Lord and undergoing a period of careful discernment, Fr.Thomas entered the postulancy of the Congregation of the Disciples of the Lord in February 2000. Six months later, he was sent to the novitiate on Yangmingshan in Taiwan, where he completed one year of novitiate formation. On September 1, 2001, he made his first profession of vows at the Provincial House in Xinzhuang, Taipei.

Following his first vows, Fr. Thomas pursued his priestly formation in philosophy and theology at the Major Seminary in Taiwan and at Fu Jen Catholic University Seminary. From 2003 to 2004, he was assigned to Malaysia for further formation and pastoral exposure at St. Ignatius Church, Petaling Jaya, and Costantini Research Centre in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Upon completing his theological studies in June 2007, he returned to St. Ignatius Church, Petaling Jaya to apprentice his pastoral ministry.

On August 25, 2008, Fr. Thomas made his perpetual profession at the Provincial House in Malacca, thereby becoming a full member of the Congregation of the Disciples of the Lord. Three months later, he was ordained to the diaconate. On February 2, 2009, Deacon Thomas, together with four other deacons, was ordained to the priesthood at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Kuala Lumpur by Archbishop Murphy Pakiam.

After his priestly ordination, Fr. Thomas continued his ministry at St. Ignatius Church, Petaling Jaya. On October 15, 2009, he received a new assignment from his Order and was sent to Canada to begin a new evangelization mission at St. Agnes Kouying Tsao Church in Toronto.

Fr. Thomas served as Assistant Pastor of St. Agnes Kouying Tsao Church from October 16, 2009, to May 31, 2017. On June 1, 2017, he was appointed Pastor of the same parish, a role he fulfilled until August 31, 2024. On January 2, 2026, Fr. Thomas accepted a new mission and was appointed Pastor of Our Saviour of the Lord Parish, continuing his service to the People of God.
