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.

Any additional VIP information, including Meet & Greet details, will be communicated via email prior to the date of the show.

All events are in-person only and will not be livestreamed. We look forward to seeing you there!

Each event has a limited number of VIP tickets available for purchase, which include a Meet & Greet with Fr. Mike!

Tickets are only available for purchase through Ticketmaster or the individual venues. You can find the link for each city at the top of this page!
