Your Excellency:

We, the undersigned parishioners of St. Victoria Catholic Church in Victoria, MN, wish to make an appeal to you concerning the termination of our Music Director, Jamie Moore. Please be clear that this appeal is being made solely by the individuals listed below. Our actions were not prompted by anyone at the St. Victoria Parish office, nor by our priest Father Bob White or by Jamie Moore. We are asking and appealing to your Excellency to reconsider and allow our Music Director to return to his position at St. Victoria.

In the many years that Jamie has been with our parish, he has been nothing but kind, thoughtful and caring. He has positively influenced so many of our parish family including our youth. Jamie has been a role model for all in leading our music programs and in supporting the many activities of our parish. He has been completely sincere and without fault in his approach and efforts. Jamie has been dedicated to his role as Music Director and our parish mission to be the "Face and Hands of Jesus Christ".

His action in lawfully uniting with his partner changes nothing in the way that he impacts our parish. If reinstated, we know he would return to his role at St. Victoria ready to continue his good works without any agenda or malice to anyone.

We would be forever grateful for your thoughtful kindness and caring to allow for Jamie's return. We feel it can only be a positive action that will be welcomed by so many both within our immediate parish and the greater community.

Thank you for your kind consideration of this appeal. We look with hope to receiving your response and to having our beloved Music Director back.

With regard and respect,

~The Undersigned
