On December 6th, Michael delivered a breathtaking performance at the Concert with the Poor in the Vatican. Accompanied by the Nova Opera Orchestra and the Choir of the Diocese of Rome, Michael captivated over 8,000 attendees with signature songs and timeless Christmas classics, including a not-to-be-missed performance of ‘Ave Maria,’ sung in Latin. The evening’s biggest highlight came when Michael got the Holy Father to join him in singing “L.O.V.E.” 

Michael shares, "Standing before His Holiness, Pope Leo XIV, alongside my wife Lu, my parents and friends was an experience beyond anything we could have dreamed of. To share a few moments with someone whose kindness, humility, and compassion have touched so many was truly unforgettable. This day has filled us with peace, hope and a renewed sense of faith, and we are deeply grateful."
