Michael Goldade

Michael Goldade (b. 1980-1981) is an American excommunicated bishop of the Society of St Pius X, a Traditionalist Catholic organization declared to be in schism with the Catholic Church by the Holy See.

He was consecrated a bishop by the SSPX without papal approval in the 2026 Écône consecrations, which led to a statement from the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith that he was excommunicated latae sententiae from the Catholic Church. He has nine siblings, three of whom are religious sisters with the SSPX. He entered seminary for the Society at the age of 18, being educated in Winona, Minnesota. Goldade was also ordained at the seminary in Winona in 2004 by the then-excommunicated SSPX bishop Richard Williamson.

His first assignment following ordination was at St. Anne Chapel in Armada, Michigan where he served for five years before serving as director of a retreat house in Ridgefield, Connecticut.

In 2021, Goldade was named assistant to the District Superior, and two years later was appointed as rector of St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary in Dillwyn, Virginia.

In 2023, he became the rector of the St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary in Dillwyn, Virginia.
