Thu Oct 1 – Father Michael Maginot – Exorcism

Fr. Michael L. Maginot was born in Gary, Indiana in 1957. He went to Rome for Theology and gained a S.T.L. degree in Biblical Theology in 1984. Fr. Mike was ordained a priest on July 2, 1983. He would later be sent back to Rome to gain a J.C.L. degree in Canon Law at the Pontifical Gregorian University in 2000. When he returned, he would be assigned to St. Stephen, Martyr Parish as administrator with duties also at the Tribunal in the Diocese of Gary.

For three years, he was charge of the Tribunal as Judicial Vicar for the Diocese, then became Pastor of the parish. In 2012, he was given permission by the bishop to be an exorcist for the Ammon family in Gary, Indiana, whose case eventually would receive worldwide notoriety.
