Friday we received word that one our Franciscan Brothers, Fr. Salim Joseph OFM unexpectedly died from a heart attack at the age of 58. Salim was a wonderful soul who taught me all the ins and outs of Cricket in the India Premier League (Go Chennai Super Kings!). He will be missed.
Here is a tribute to his life and mission prepared by the India Province of the OFMs. May he rest in peace.

I was so sorry to hear this at Mass yesterday. I wish something more had been said about him. I am sorry for your loss.
What a lovely young man!
I really enjoyed all of his jokes
Sacred Heart is hurting, and we didn’t know him as deeply as you did. I’m sorry for your loss Father. Fr. Salim was wonderful to us at 5:30pm, and we always looked forward to an unbelievably bad “Dad joke” at the end of Mass! Salim exuded love and was a great testimony to Christ’s love for all of us. May he rest in peace.
Sorry for the loss of your Brother
We are so sorry, Fr. George. You all have our deepest sympathy. He’s won the ultimate game.
Thank you for sharing this story of your dear friend and a great man!!
