St. Patrick's Cathedral & Radio City Music Hall

One Last Incredible Evening

St. Patrick's Cathedral & Radio City Music Hall

On Monday, November 16, Fr. Mike Schmitz will celebrate Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan at 4:30 PM ET. This Mass is open and all are invited to attend.

Then, starting at 7:30 PM just a block away, he will begin the last-ever evening of Parables: A Time of Reflection at Radio City Music Hall, one of the world's most iconic venues.

Throughout the evening, Fr. Mike will walk through the parables of Jesus from the four Gospels. He’ll explore what they meant to those who first heard them and what they ask of us today. After that, during the live Q&A, he'll answer questions from those in attendance at Radio City Music Hall.

The Final Stop of the Parables Tour

Since the fall of 2024, Fr. Mike's Parables tour has visited more than 20 cities across more than a dozen states, and has even traveled internationally to Ireland. Tens of thousands of people have attended to hear Fr. Mike unpack Jesus’ parables in person.

It's been an incredible run, but Parables is coming to an end. Radio City Music Hall on November 16 will be the end of the Parables tour, and it will not return.

In the video above, Fr. Mike shares a few words about the tour and why it has meant so much to him to get to be with you in-person these past two years.

Why is Fr. Mike on tour, doing evening events across the country?

Millions of people around the world know Fr. Mike Schmitz from his YouTube videos and podcasts.

What most people don’t realize is that digital media is just one part of his ministry!

As a diocesan priest in the Diocese of Duluth, MN, his primary ministry is serving as Chaplain for the Newman Center at the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD).

Since he began this ministry, it has—and continues—to operate out of the small, split-level home he lives in.

But now, with more than 700 students and faculty attending Mass at the Newman Centereach day, it has far outgrown the garage he converted into a chapel!

And that’s why Fr. Mike is now on tour.

All the proceeds from each event are helping to fund the construction of a brand-new church and a dedicated space for students to meet, pray, study, and grow in their faith on the UMD campus.

This initiative is called Seeds of Faith, and in this new video, Fr. Mike, his staff, and students explain why they need your support.
