I can't believe a bishop can unilaterally make a decision to end an asset's career. Unbelievable!

So disappointed w/our Bishop. Has caused our Parish (St.Al's) to literally fall apart.

If Father Mike says he can keep going, let him continue.

I think Father Mike should retire when he is ready.

Fr. Mike baptized me and I want him to stay with us through our 8th grade graduation and May Crowning Mass next year.

This seems like a more reasonable and deserved timeline for Fr. Mike.

I appreciate all that Father Mike has done for my family. He has given his life to his vocation, and has done a truly remarkable job. He absolutely deserves to have a transition year. This parish and our school deserve that too.

Father Burke is an icon in the Madison community. He is truly a remarkable individual.

Priests may petition for retirement from assigned diocesan ministry at the age of 70. Fr. Mike turns 70 in March 2018. Why make him stay beyond his allowed retirement date? Working six 10 hour days each week at age 69 is probably more than anyone signing this petition would be willing to do.

He deserves better & has given his heart to SMG. He is why we are members & our kids attend the school.

Isn't there a shortage of priests??? He should stay until he wants to retire!
