Biography
Though raised in a Catholic family, Schmitz was largely indifferent about Catholicism until a particular experience of confession at age 15.[4] According to Schmitz, this encounter "led me down the road to asking God what He wants."[4] He attended Saint Paul Seminary School of Divinity and was ordained in 2003 for the Diocese of Duluth.[3] He is the director of Youth and Young Adult Ministry for the diocese.[5] He is the Newman Center chaplain at the University of Minnesota-Duluth.
