Thank you Father Mike for your enthusiasm and your faith. I enjoy listening to you and you always find a way to make me laugh! Your DJ Khaled reference was so subtle, I hope I am not the only one who caught that! Keep it up!

Though I’m so thankful for all priests who take up their vocation, it can be hard to understand homilies at Mass when accents are so heavy. It’s so great to be able to really understand, clearly, the message being given from Fr Mike each week. I always take so much away from these. Thank you!
