✠ Welcome
Welcome to Eric Michel Ministries International
A New Life Catholic Franciscan Ministry (O.F.S.)
Province of the Three Marys – North America
“May the Lord give you peace.”
In the spirit of Saint Francis of Assisi, this ministry exists to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ through a life of prayer, service, and authentic Christian witness.
We are called to rebuild the Church not through structures alone, but through hearts transformed by grace.
A Ministry of Presence and Service
Rooted in the Franciscan tradition of peace, humility, and service, this ministry exists to bring the light of Christ into everyday life—especially in the face of suffering, isolation, or spiritual need.
We serve through chaplaincy, prayer, evangelization, and compassionate outreach, responding to the call of the Gospel in both ordinary and urgent moments.
Our Mission
To accompany souls toward God through:
- Faithful Catholic witness
- Pastoral care and chaplaincy service
- Prayer and spiritual support
- Evangelization through media and presence
A Place of Prayer
At the heart of this ministry is a life of prayer.
From the Manse Chapel, a small domestic chapel where intimate liturgical celebrations are held, to online gatherings, we foster a living community united in prayer.
Regular Cenacles of Prayer are offered both in person (limited capacity) and via Zoom, welcoming all who seek spiritual communion.
Invitation
You are welcome here—whether you are seeking guidance, prayer, or simply a place of peace.

The title “Archbishop” refers to episcopal lineage within the independent Catholic tradition and does not imply jurisdiction within the Roman Catholic Church, to which we remain spiritually united.
