PETOSKEY – September 1, 2026 – St. Michael High School (SMHS), the only Classical high school in Northern Michigan, invites you to join us for Father Mitchel Roman’s Fireside Chat – which, tonight, will feature esteemed St. Michael faculty members Andrew Moe and Paul Radatovich! The event is scheduled to begin with a potluck supper at 6:30pm, followed by the discussion at 7:00pm or shortly after.
Tonight’s Fireside Chat will be held at Holy Childhood of Jesus Parish Hall, 150 W. Main St., in downtown Harbor Springs. The event will be preceded by Mass at 5:30pm to which everyone is also invited.
Both Mr. Moe and Mr. Radatovich are veteran St. Michael teachers, providing the core of Humanities instruction at the school. Both teach Philosophy and Theology courses, with Mr. Moe also teaching Literature and Latin and ‘Mr. Rad’ also teaching History.
Both men earned undergraduate degrees at Franciscan University and both subsequently earned graduate degrees – Mr. Moe from The Augustine Institute and Mr. Radatovich from Holy Apostles College & Seminary.
SMHS Headmaster Kevin Weed commented, “We invite you to join us tonight to learn more about St. Michael, straight from Andy and Paul – as well as how the Truth, Goodness & Beauty of Classical Catholic education has inspired a rapidly expanding nationwide renewal movement.”
Mr. Weed continued, “We extend a special invitation to families impacted by the unexpected closure of the Concord high schools this summer. St. Michael offers students the pursuit of excellence and holiness through our outstanding faculty and school culture. We do so while providing unparalleled scheduling flexibility along with generous financial aid to those who need it. Thanks to our benefactors, our long-standing policy is to not turn away families for financial reasons. We hope to see you tonight, or that you’ll consider reaching out to us at 231-489-3302 or info@stmichaelchesterton.org.”
St. Michael High School is High School with a Higher Purpose and a proud member of the Chesterton Schools Network. Established in 2013, the St. Michael mission is to nurture and elevate a new generation of joyful leaders educated in the Classical tradition and truth of the Catholic faith.
