Before his retirement, Fr. Mike served as pastor at St. Mary of False River and St. George Catholic Church in Catholic Diocese of Baton Rouge. “We have a nickname for him, and it's called Mighty Mike because he’s strong in body, mind, and spirit,” said Carol Bonnecaze, a friend of Father Mike who helped to rescue him in his home during his stroke.
