Mike Milinazzo

Vice President

Mike first encountered Franciscan spirituality in 8th grade during a Confirmation retreat. That experience, and his interaction with a friar at that formative age, opened his eyes to the importance of service to others and a new understanding of the Gospel message.

Mike spends most working days in his role as a Technical Program Manager working with financial institutions improving their technology systems and implementing modern technical solutions. He is also a part-time app developer looking for ways to make things easier for students, teachers, and parents alike. As a Computer Science major, and Religious Studies minor, Mike has tried to humanize technology and find uses where it can benefit others.



Shortly after moving to Phoenix, Mike and his wife started attending Mass at The Casa. It was here that he learned of Casa Franciscana and the important work being done in Guaymas. After participating in a Service Pilgrimage, where the need of the people of Guaymas was made even more evident, he felt called to do more for his brothers and sisters.
