Bishop Michael Martin, OFM Conv.

Duc In Altum – Put Out Into the Deep

Bishop Michael Martin, OFM Conv., was ordained the fifth bishop of the Charlotte diocese in May 2024. With an extensive background in education and ministry – including as a teacher, coach and principal – he has held a number of leadership positions in the Church, particularly in Catholic secondary education, youth ministry and campus ministry. His episcopal motto is “Duc In Altum” (“Put Out Into the Deep”), a call for all people, and especially young people, to become disciples of Jesus and help build His Kingdom here in our own communities.

What people are saying

“I think it’s really cool to see so many Catholics come together and to see our faith celebrated by so many cultural backgrounds. It was also awesome to hang out with the other teenagers. It’s not often you’re in a room with so many young people who have the same beliefs.”
Tori YercheckMonroe
"Seeing so many people from our diocese of all ages and backgrounds who are all here to follow Christ is overwhelming. It gives me hope for humanity.”
Maria DawkinsWinston-Salem
“My daughter and I wanted to experience it – see the vendors, go to confession and attend Mass. It’s great to see so many Catholics gather to celebrate, to come together for Jesus, especially the youth. We didn’t have that when I was younger.”
Teresa BookamerCharlotte
