Mike was amazing! He was always filled with joy. He left a lasting impact. He was teaching RCIA when my husband joined the church.

Mike was a joy to know! My late husband Bill and I got to know Mike via St. Al's Bible Study Class in the evenings. He also did the 40 Days for Life Program and we joined him many times in quiet prayer to save the "little ones". He was a fellow parishioner who loved all that was St. Al's - we agree. He became a great friend over the years and a wickedly good card player. :-) Mostly, he inspired us with his love and devotion to our Catholic faith and the Lord. He is indeed with his Savior now...

Mike was our leader in Bible Study at St. Alphonsus. Mike was a gentle, kind, and caring man. He made our class interesting and fun with his good sense of humor. He was an innovator with his "Mystical Moments" segment of every class. Then COVID came and our class was ended. Mike often spoke of his children and of his great desire to get to HEAVEN. "Well done, good and faithful servant." RIP. Bob and Deenie Phillips
