Listen "48. Fr. Mike Schmitz: Persevering in Holiness"
Episode Synopsis
We talk in this episode with Fr. Mike Schmitz, longtime friend and collaborator on Ascension Presents, recording from SEEK 2025 in Salt Lake City, Utah. We reminisce on old ministry moments, the Catholicity of Captain America, and being encouraged in our walks with the Lord.
Father Mike Schmitz is the director of Youth and Young Adult Ministry for the Diocese of Duluth as well as the Chaplain for the Newman Center at the University of Minnesota-Duluth. The Duluth Newman Center focuses on being fed through the Sacraments as well as study and knowledge of the Church and has thrived under his humble and Spirit-filled guidance. He has preached to thousands locally and nationally. He is the host of the widely popular podcasts, “Bible in a Year” and “The Catechism in a Year” produced by Ascension. Father Mike also offers weekly homilies on iTunes, Hallow, and bulldogCatholic.org and has appeared in programs for youth and young adults through Ascension Press, as well as through regular short video messages on Ascension Presents.
