His First OCMC mission trip was in 1998 when he traveled with a team to Yucatan, Mexico to build a chapel. He also took part in Project Mexico in 2005, and in 2008 he traveled to Tanzania where he served on two short-term mission teams: construction and teaching, along with Fr. Michael Miklos, Dean of the Florida Deanery.
He will be returning to Tanzania this year with a team of 5 other OCMC long-term missionaries where he will be developing and implementing Public Health education programs at the Resurrection Hospital in Bukoba.
Diocesan Faithful are asked to remember Michael in their prayers. For
