Franciscan Fr. Chris Posch Death | Obituary – Franciscan Fr. Chris Posch, a longtime advocate for minority communities and the pastor at the largest parish in the Washington Archdiocese, passed away July 5 at the age of 58.
Posch, who went by “Brother Chris,” became pastor of St. Camillus in May of 2016 after being transferred from the Diocese of Wilmington, Delaware, where he led the diocese’s Hispanic Ministry for nearly 18 years.
“With deep sadness, we share with you that Br. Chris died very quickly this morning from bilateral pneumonia and septic shock. Chris and his doctors battled his pneumonia for a month,” St. Camillus Parish in Silver Spring, Maryland, announced in a July 5 newsletter.
“Brother Chris is probably the purest and most genuine Christian I’ve ever encountered in my life,” said Toby Harkleroad, principal of St. Francis International School, St. Camillus’ parish school. “He just exuded a joy for the Gospel in ways that were never pretentious.”
Our deepest condolence to the family and friends of Franciscan Fr. Chris Posch, may his soul rest in perfect peace.
