We are pleased to be involved with the establishment of The Professorship of Catholic Studies at Virginia Tech which is named in honor of Reverend Monsignor Chester Michael. The Professorship is being funded with an estate gift that will assure adequate funding for this purpose. However, the Professorship will not be “effective” until adequate current funding exists: The Monsignor Chester Michael Professorship in Catholic Studies

It is our hope and expectation that as the many friends, students, and benefactors of Monsignor Michael learn about this endeavor that, like “one little rain drop”, funds will flow to convert this vision into a current reality. That is where you come in. Regardless of your ability to make a contribution to this effort at present, we ask that you prayerfully consider the influence that Monsignor has had on your life and those around you (who have benefitted from your spiritual growth and maturity!). Reach out to others who might be in a position to make a contribution and encourage their participation.
