Michael Gross, Service Coordinator

As our Service Coordinator, Michael has an essential role in implementing our Parish Counseling Services in new parishes and coordinating the continuation of our mission with current partners. He loves spreading the healing mission of Christ as he helps navigate how Rejoice places the Gift of Counsel at the service of the Church and community.

He previously served 10 years as a missionary in the Regnum Christi Movement working primarily in development work and men’s ministry and formation.
