Father Michael had a profound and lasting influence on my religious development. His homilies spoke directly to my heart at a very difficult time in my life and led to me taking RCIA and being Baptized by Father Michael. I thank God for Father Michael and will never forget him. May God hold him in the palm of His hand.
