Fr. Michael is dedicated to helping others encounter Christ through the celebration of the Eucharist, Preaching, Confession, Spiritual Direction, and Prayer. He is devoted to the poor especially in Africa and El Salvador where he has been on numerous mission trips. Maintaining this bond with the poor is important so he continues to be a mentor for Catholic Relief Services: Global Fellows Parish Homily Program which allows him to continue to help others encounter Christ in the poor. Fr. Michael Denk is dedicated to the Right to Life cause and has presented “Lessons from Rwanda for America’s Abortion Holocaust.” He has presented many talks and missions including "Contemplative Prayer: Praying with Word, Icon, and Nature." “Spiritual Reading,” “Discernment of Spirits,” and “Christology in the Mystics.” His current mission is based on the movement "Deeper Prayer... there's an app for that!"
In 2014, Fr. Michael launched his latest venture, a non-profit organization called “The Prodigal Father Productions”. The non-profit’s tagline is "God’s Love, Graciously Given" and its mission is to provide programming, educational tools, and training.
