Thomas

Servant Leader

Hello! I am from a little village in southwest Wisconsin called Cashton. I have really enjoyed my time in ministry this past year of SPIRITUS and Totus Tuus and am excited for my second year to be able to serve the other missionaries God has set before me. I am sure God has plans to move mountains that I don't even see yet. This last summer, I really grew in appreciation for my Holy Mother of Mount Carmel and her intercession. I need your prayers to be successful this year, so please pray to Our Mother for me, and I'll see ya out there!

Jackie

Servant Leader

I’m from Rice Lake, WI, and I enjoy hiking, crafts, bonfires, and card games. I attended UW Green Bay to become an athletic trainer, but the Lord had other plans for me. He called me out of college to serve Him by ministering to the youth of Wisconsin, and this will be my second year with SPIRITUS. God has put amazing people in my life to challenge me to grow deeper in my relationship with the Father, and I’m excited to continue this journey of helping kids discover the overflowing love of God.

Hello! I am from Manassas, VA, and I come from a family of 14 kids. I love art and animals (especially birds). I just finished my summer as a Totus Tuus missionary, and I look forward to continuing to serve God through mission during my second year with SPIRITUS. I've become incredibly passionate about the Lord this past year, and I'm so excited to start another year alongside my fellow missionary brothers and sisters, growing side by side in our faith.

I am from Washington state and, as a true girl from the Pacific Northwest, I love being in the mountains, hiking, and kayaking! I love to reflect on the meaning of metanoia in the context of mission, fueled by the Holy Spirit and the Eucharist.

What's up! I was born and raised in Medford, Oregon, to a family of 10 and graduated from Steubenville in 2023. For the last three years, I was working as a youth and young adult minister at a local parish but felt called to serve at SPIRITUS after a missionary spoke at one of my events. I love all things outdoors, cards, board games, and music, and am super excited to see what this year of mission brings!
