Father Michael A. Wulsch, 76, died April 27. He was the former pastor of three parishes.

Born in Chicago, he attended St. Anthony of Padua School, De LaSalle Institute and the University of St. Mary of the Lake/Mundelein Seminary before being ordained in 1972.

Father Wulsch was assistant pastor of Our Lady of the Ridge, Chicago Ridge, and associate pastor of St. Frances of Rome, Cicero. He was pastor of St. Veronica, St. Monica and St. Peter, Skokie. He retired in 2018.

Msgr. Patrick Pollard, retired archdiocesan priest, remembered the “incredibly engaging personality” of his classmate. “Mike was able to listen to people with patience, understanding and a smile,” Pollard said.
