The Annual Gentlemen’s Dinner brings together hundreds of men for an evening featuring a premium dining experience, cigars, live and silent auctions, a raffle, and exceptional fellowship. Proceeds directly support the continued excellence and growth of St. Anthony Catholic School.
2026 Honoree
Born in Sacramento and raised in a military family, Father Michael Grady’s path to the priesthood reflects both faith and life experience. After high school, he entered the seminary for the Diocese of Providence, earning degrees from Providence College and continuing his studies in Belgium and Washington, D.C. He later built a successful career in hotel management before returning to his vocation.
In 1991, Father Grady entered St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary and was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Miami in 1994. His ministry has included service at St. Gregory in Plantation, Nativity Catholic Church in Hollywood, and St. Thomas Aquinas High School, where he served as a teacher and assistant principal.
From July 2014 through December 2024, Father Grady served as Pastor of St. Anthony Catholic Church and School, guiding the community with warmth, humor, and a deep love for parish life. He has also served as Administrator of St. Jerome Parish since 2011.
Known for his compassion and approachability, Father Grady often says, “If God wants you, God gets you.” He treasures time with family and friends, enjoys classic Motown, and finds joy in accompanying others through life’s most meaningful moments.

Fr. Michael J. Grady
