FleurToday the Sulpician Provincial of the USA, members of the provincial council and the family and friends of Mr. Joseph Reynolds who died after a short illness last week, attened Joe's funeral at St. Ursula Church in Baltimore, MD. Joe began working for the Sulpicians at St. Mary's Seminary in Baltimore as a high school student. Then in 1969 he was hired as the administrative assistant to the Provincial. Joe's competency is described in no other way than thorough, compassionate and long-term - he worked for the provincial offices for 36 years. May he rest in peace and may God bless him abundantly for his goodness to the cause of priestly vocations.
