The Rev. Mike Smith, S.J., was the pastor at Sacred Heart Catholic Church from 2001 until his retirement in June 2015. During his tenure, he watched the number of parishioners grow to over 500 households.
Fr. Mike was ordained on June 7, 1967 as a Jesuit priest in the Society of Jesus at St. Louis Missouri.
In his homilies, Fr. Mike uses his life experiences, family life and his sense of humor for a better understanding of the Readings and Gospel. “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” initiated by Fr. Mike, is the theme song for the children’s special blessing during Mass. This has been a big hit and represents his dedication to our youth and future of our parish.
