Msgr. Chet Michael has had a profound impact on the lives of many of us in Central Virginia and beyond. We offer this web site in gratitude for his reflection of Christ's love in our lives, and in the hopes that he may enrich the faith journey of many others. Even at 90 years of age, Msgr. Michael continues his ministries through his Spiritual Direction Institute, through his week-long and weekend retreats, through his books and recordings, through serving as the guest celebrant at local Masses, and through providing spiritual direction to many.
We invite you to explore this site, to learn more about Msgr. Michael, and to learn more about his message that challenges each of us to grow in wholeness and maturity by developing our unlimited potential for love. "Maturity, sanctity, wholeness--all refer to that situation in life where all of our energies for love have been released and directed with the right priority toward the greatest possible development of one's true and inner self, toward other human beings, and toward God." (Arise, p.10)
