Father Steve McMichael, OFM Conv.

Fr. Steve is no stranger to Franciscan Retreats and Spirituality Center; he began his journey with the Franciscans here in the mid-1970s. 

A native of Minnetonka, and a son of St. Therese Parish, Fr. Steve is an Associate Professor at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN. He also leads pilgrimage groups with the Franciscan Pilgrimage program. 

Fr. Steve has a strong interest in interfaith dialogue, especially among Christians, Jews and Muslims. He is an avid hockey fan and makes a mean corn dog.
