I have been checking the Mount's University and Seminary news and just discovered this post . It is by the President of Mount Saint Mary's, Thomas. H. Powell. Fr. Zylla taught at the Mount for 38 years, and despite his illness, finished teaching the semester this past May. During his time at the Mount, it’s estimated that he taught half of the 1200 priests who have graduated from the Mount and 80 percent of all the priests and six current bishops serving the Church in the United States today. “Fr. Zylla was simply an extraordinary gentleman and an exemplary priest,” said President Powell. “He was a favorite of students and will long be remembered for his gentleness, quick wit, superb intelligence and his teaching of the works of St. Thomas Aquinas. He also held a special place in his heart for St. Odilia, patron saint of the Crozier order.” Please read the entire news brief here . May God grant him Eternal Peace!
