Reviews

Thank you Father Mike and UMD

I really feel that through this podcast, I’ve learned more about the Catholic Church and my faith than I did in the 8 years of my catholic school education. During times when I struggle with my faith, this podcast has helped me through it and I can’t thank father Mike and UMD enough for sharing this podcast with us. Thanks for all you do and I look forward to the episodes to come!

Long, long time listener!

I’ve been listening to Fr. Mike’s homily via this podcast for a number of years. I think since 2014 or 2015. It has quite literally changed my life and strengthened my faith, more than I can say. Fr. Mike, thank you for your ministry and your gift to all of us, and most of all thank you for your YES to God’s calling to the priesthood.

Wonderful Homilies

Fr. Mike Throws a shimmering net of God’s love and wisdom for all to receive. His message often is presented using stories/ anecdotes that are interwoven with thoughtful interpretations and fun yet enlightening self-deprecating humor.

Incredible homilies and example of faith

What an amazing podcast with life-giving, fulfilling, in your face truth-filled homilies that seem to show up exactly when I need them. Fr. Mike has a gift for writing homilies and delivering them in such a way that speaks to the heart and leads one back into the arms of Christ. I highly, highly recommend this to everyone, whether you’re a Catholic, a Protestant, or someone searching. God bless you always, Fr. Mike, your family, and everyone involved in your ministry! Thank you!!

Homilies for everyone

Granted, I’m Catholic and that’s how I found this podcast but when I say his teachings can be applied to every walk of life I mean it! Simple, engaging, profound. Especially love his series and I’d be lying if some of these haven’t made me cry. Also, he do be starting his homilies with “so um” lol
