Supporting Michael

Your presence and prayers at my ordination are tremendous gifts. Please do not feel an obligation to give anything more.

For those who have asked how they can tangibly support me, I have provided the information below.
I have limited and specific needs as shown. Due to the nature of these items, it is best for me to purchase specifically what I need, so donation options are given at the bottom. Many items are for future priesthood. Thank you very much for your continued prayers, and if you plan to donate, thank you also for your generosity!

Prayers

Consider a spiritual gift of prayers through the offering of rosaries, Mass intentions, time in adoration, etc. Please pray for me.

Alb for Diaconate Ordination

Total Cost, $500
The alb is a white linen tunic that is the first layer of vestment during the sacred liturgy for clergy. It symbolizes the purity of heart desired by the Lord. I will wear this alb during the diaconate ordination and other solemn Masses.

Open book with red cover and white pages

Liturgical Book Fund

To study and celebrate the sacraments, various books are needed. Each ranges from $30 to $100. Consider contributing to this fund.

Vestments Fund

In anticipation of priesthood ordination, donate to support purchase of sacred vestments. The chasuble is the outer vestment of the priest. It represents his service to Christ and his acting in persona Christi during the Mass. Each chasuble is expected to be approximately $1000 - $1500.

Travel Mass Kit

In anticipation of priesthood ordination, donate to support purchase of items for a travel Mass kit. I intend to celebrate Mass daily, and I will assemble a custom travel Mass kit.

Car Fund

Since formation began in Rome, I do not have a vehicle. Once formation and study here are completed, I will need to purchase a car for ministry. This fund would be to support that future purchase (in 2029 or 2030).
