Hi there! I grew up Highlands Ranch, Colorado and then attended Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa - Go Duhawks!! In college, I was actively involved in Campus Ministry, serving on our leadership team, and co-leader of our annual retreat. It was during this time I felt the Lord calling me to ministry, so I chose to continue my education through the Notre Dame Echo Program where I earned my master’s degree in theology. My latest adventure before returning to the great midwest was as a campus minister at Elon University where I learned to love walking with college students, parmesan truffle fries, and comfort color t-shirts.

Outside of ministry I enjoy anything outdoors, wearing my chacos, doggos, reading, dinosaurs, and making nerdy theology jokes. 

​Please feel free to drop by my office in the Blue House and say hello!

Fr. Michael Hoyt is a priest of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, currently serving as the pastor of St. Thomas Aquinas Parish.  Equally, he is the chaplain for Butler Campus Ministry and the French Speaking Apostolate of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. 

Fr. Michael grew up on the north side of Indianapolis with his 8 siblings and his parents, Judy and Dan Hoyt.  He received his bachelors degree from Ball State University, advanced degrees in Philosophy and Theology from the School of St. John, located in central France, and a masters degree in Social Work from the University of Illinois in Chicago. 

He loves the outdoors, reading, rock climbing, discussing, and most importantly following Jesus. ​
