I am from Oklahoma, and I have recently graduated from Holy Apostles College and Seminary. I enjoy the outdoors and seeking the beauty of the world in the moment. My passion is rooted in the depths of thought and seeking God through the conversion of the heart to the Divine Will. Which drives me to strive to help others find the truth through encountering God, particularly in the Eucharist.

I grew up in Cedar Rapids, IA and graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a degree in Communication. I enjoy going on adventures in the great outdoors and exploring new churches! I am excited to return to SPIRITUS this year and continue to serve in this beautiful ministry!

I'm originally from Michigan, and I just graduated from the University of Notre Dame, where I studied Theology and Spanish. In my free time I enjoy going for walks, thrifting, and reading.

I am from Austin, Texas and I am the oldest of 4 siblings and 21 cousins. I enjoy swimming, going on epic adventures with my cousins and siblings, and leading people to discover Christ's healing, transforming, resurrecting divine love. I hope to show the youth of Wisconsin, through the witness of my own life and spiritual journey, that Christ's promises are indeed true, that He has come to bring us “life to the full” (Jn 10:10) and that He, who is "the truth," (Jn 14:6) "will set you free." (Jn 8:32). Indeed, Christ has redeemed the world!

I am from Buffalo, NY and am in the middle of getting my bachelor's degree in Theology from Franciscan University of Steubenville.

I am looking forward to seeing where the Lord will lead me during this year of mission.

I grew up near Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I graduated from Iowa State University and worked as an engineer for a bit before becoming a seminarian for the Archdiocese of Dubuque.

I grew up In Illinois but have been living in Wisconsin for almost 6 years now! I graduated recently from University of Wisconsin Milwaukee studying film and animation. You can often find me outdoors soaking the sun, or petting a cute dog. God has greatly transformed my life through the Holy Spirit and the Eucharist, and I’m super pumped to serve at Spiritus this year and show others the love of Jesus Christ!
