Michel Pascal Email & Phone Number

Author, Film director, singer, wellness expertMichel Pascal's life has been touched by divine grace from the start. His grandfather, Joseph Pascal, was found as a baby in a church near Chartres on Easter Day. The priests who cared for him named him "Pascal" after the holy day, and "Joseph" became a family name passed down to Michel. Born near the Basilica of Sacré-Cœur in Paris, Michel was drawn to the church as a child, finding solace in its peaceful environment during a challenging upbringing. His first communion was a cherished moment, and his devotion to Catholicism deepened after a visit to Lisieux, the city of St. Thérèse. From that day, St. Thérèse became his lifelong guide.From a young age, Michel's artistic talents flourished. He began singing in churches at eight and performing on stage by nine. Today, Michel is known as a unique artist—singer, author, composer, performer, and film director. His annual concerts at Carnegie Hall since 2016, including a Christmas Eve concert in 2019, have solidified his place in the American music scene. In 2023, he was chosen by the City of New York for the Peace Day Concert in Times Square. His voice, spanning over three octaves, blends influences from Gregorian chant to jazz and world music. His collaborations include legendary musicians such as Myron McKinley (Music Director of Earth, Wind & Fire), Raul Rekow (Carlos Santana), and Ro Rowan (cellist for Avatar).Discovered in Paris by theater master Peter Brook and literary agent Micheline Rozan, Michel's first play, A Season in Middle Age, was performed at the Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord. He has since published 20 books on spirituality, including two about St. Thérèse. His play on St. Thérèse, published by Magnificat, has been performed over 1,000 times in cathedrals, theaters, hospitals, and prisons worldwide.Michel's dedication to St. Thérèse inspired his work in wellness, particularly his unique program for prisoners and the homeless. In response to the alarming rise in suicides (the second leading cause of death starting from age 10), he created a weekly training program that has resulted in zero suicides among prisoners who follow it.As a filmmaker, Michel wrote, directed, and composed the film Never Alone, based on true stories of suicide prevention, starring Deepak Chopra. His life's work will come full circle when his play about St. Thérèse is performed at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York on October 12, a testament to his mission of spreading faith, hope, and healing through art.
