The late Father McLoughlin was a fine horseman, and in Gippsland South and East he practically "lived in the saddle," visiting hundreds of homes inspiring the people with his own high concept of faith and charity and winning their lasting friendship. He worked with great zeal, and during 20 years he was at Traralgon a new church, school and presbytery were built. Ill-health prevented him from maintaining the tempo of his many activities and for that reason he resigned from Traralgon. He was at Cowwarr and Maffra for brief periods before coming to Bairnsdale, where he spent the last four years of his life.
