On Monday, Sept. 28, students will gather in the Joseph Page Theatre for a memorial service in honor of their former classmate, Joe Kritzeck. “Because Joe was a Theatre major and participated in several SMU plays, his friends suggested that the theatre would be the most appropriate place to remember and honor him, and his parents agreed,” said Dr. Jenny Shanahan, director of the LaSallian Honors Program, in an email to the Cardinal.

The memorial service will include readings from scripture, selections from Joe’s own poetry and the sharing of memories of Joe by his friends. After the service is concluded, those in attendance, including Joe’s parents and Brother William, will walk together to Memorial Plaza, which is dedicated to the memory of students who have passed away during their student years at Saint Mary’s University. A plaque in Joe’s honor will then be installed and blessed.
