Join us on Friday, March 3 for a special lenten reflection with Fr. Michael Zimmerman, assistant Vocation Director for the Archdiocese of Boston and adjunct Scripture Professor at St. John's Seminary. Fr. Zimmerman's talk, the Cry for Mercy - Psalm 51: Pathway of Conversation, begins at 7:00 p.m. and will be held in the Parish Hall. 

Fr. Michael  was ordained to the priesthood in 2017. With the heart of a teacher, Fr. Michael was inspired to create a systematic discernment program for young men drawing from the wisdom that he received as part of his own formation. During the pandemic lockdown in May 2020, Fr. Michael scripted 27 episodes which are now part of a video series called Scivias. Filmed in a way that captures many of Fr. Michael’s own interests such as rock climbing, track and field, art, drawing, and of course the city of Boston.  Fr. Michael hopes others can identify with his journey and recognize how pursuing God’s plan for their lives will fulfill their greatest desires.

He grew up in St. Joseph's Parish in Needham and attended the parish school. For High School, he attended Xaverian Brothers in Westwood and participated in the Life Teen Program at St. Mary's in Dedham.  He earned his bachelor's degree in Philosophy from St. John's Seminary in Brighton.
