Fr. Michael Block

Hailing from Westfield, IN, Fr. Michael Block has served at Our Lady of Grace since August, 2020. Along with his two parents, Fr. Block grew up with two brothers (no sisters). In his years of high school, he heard God calling him to consider the priesthood; as such, immediately after high school, Fr. Block began his seminary studies to become a priest. He studied for four years in St. Paul, MN, and for four more years in Mundelein, IL (near Chicago), before receiving Our Lady of Grace as his first assignment. Fr. Block loves spending time in Our Lady of Grace Catholic School; he loves interacting with our Hispanic parishioners; he is proud to be the chaplain for the parish's Knights of Columbus Council, #9706; and he loves the families at Our Lady of Grace!
