Let’s Get To Know Fr. Michael Rhodes!  Fr. Michael Rhodes is our new parochial vicar who just joined St. Albert the Great. We asked him some questions to get to know him.  If you haven’t met him yet, please welcome him after Mass! Where were you born, and where did you grow up? * I was born and raised in Fort Worth and moved to College Station in 2005 where I worked managing restaurants and real estate until I entered seminary in 2019. When and where did you get ordained? * I was ordained on Jun 14, 2025 for the Diocese of Austin at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church. Who is your favorite saint and why?  * St. Augustine is my favorite saint because he shows us an example of a man who was tied up in worldly desires who became a great saint because he found truth in God and came to know that our heart is restless until it rests in God. His mother, St. Monica, also fervently prayed for her son and I know that my mother always prayed for me. What do you enjoy doing in your free time? * I enjoy tinkering with things and was in my high school robotics club. I like working on cars and am a Ham Radio operator. I also love to cook. What is one thing that people might be surprised to learn about you? * I built a giant venus fly trap puppet that could “eat” people for our seminary play last year. What is your favorite food? * Texas BBQ What is your impression of Austin if you are new here? * I think it’s great because there is so much to do so close, and the food scene is awesome! Any message for the parishioners at St. Albert the Great?  * Your hospitality is out of this world! Thank you so much for welcoming me into your parish family and my encouragement to you to remain rooted in Christ through prayer each day because he is our strength and our hope!
