Fr Loiseau was born in France to a farmer on 25th June 1926 .
As a young boy, he was fascinated by the courage of the priests and their fidelity to the people and God, particularly during the French Revolution.
He decided to join the priesthood at the tender age of 10 and entered the Junior Seminary a year later.
In 1946, he joined the Paris Foreign Mission (MEP) Seminary.
He was ordained on Pentecost Sunday in 1950 and sent to Myanmar (then, known as Burma).
Little did he know that he would not get to see his father again. The senior Loiseau died of cancer in 1957.
In Singapore, Fr Loiseau served in Church of St Bernadette, Immaculate Heart of Mary, and Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, before being posted to Church of the Risen Christ in 1990.
He is active in ministering to the sick and elderly, RCIA and bible class, and is Spiritual Director to five praesidia of the Legion of Mary and the Curia, as well as Spiritual Director to the Society of St Vincent De Paul Risen Christ Conference and Particular Council North.
Outside the church, Fr Loiseau has served actively in various religious organisations.
He remains the Chaplain to the French speaking Community and has ministered to them since 1991.
