Joseph Mario Reali was a dynamic young man whose passion was evident both on the football field and in how he lived his Catholic faith. Following his sudden and tragic death in 2015, thousands turned out for his wake and funeral, where they shared stories about Joe’s sacrificial love for others and his care for the downtrodden. Today, Joe’s legacy lives on through our council.
We invite you to watch his story, be inspired by his passion to spread the love of Christ, to live his faith in every aspect of his life, and his utter devotion to Mary, the Rosary, and the Sacraments.
