Connecting lives with Heaven’s Love.
Michael Grogan’s Ministry in Kensington
Learn about Michael Grogan and his work…
Michael Grogan is a legally blind, lay missionary.
After a dramatic conversion in 1993, Michael was set ablaze with love for Jesus.
In 1999, Michael met Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity and began to work with the poorest of the poor.
For over 25 years, Michael led prayer groups in the South Bronx for young people who were involved with gangs and violence. He currently resides in the notorious and violent Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia where he ministers to the spiritual needs of the poor and marginalized. Michael also provides spiritual direction and gives retreat conferences throughout the country.
Our ministry aims to bring the Kingdom of God down into the streets of Kensington, by reminding people of their profound identity as children of God the Father, and making them disciples of Jesus Christ.
Our mission is to plant the seeds of truth in the hearts of young people and families that are overwhelmed by a culture of death, drugs, and abandonment. We believe through prayer and the power of the Holy Spirit, great transformation is possible to make Kensington become like “sweet smelling incense before the Lord.”

“Hungry for love, He looks at you. Thirsty for kindness, He begs of you. Naked for loyalty, He hopes in you. Homeless for shelter in your heart, He asks of you. Will you be that one to Him?”
— St. Teresa of Calcutta
