I am a cradle Catholic from Oregon. I am a professional musician, so making music is my favorite activity; I also love reading, writing, running, watching movies, and socializing. I am very excited to return to SPIRITUS and continue dedicating my life to helping people grow more intimately connected to Christ!

I am from northern Indiana, spent two years in college seminary, and have now left to follow God's call elsewhere. Youth ministry has always been my favorite form of ministry, and I'm hoping to spark the faith of the youth the same way mine has been sparked. I'm always up for adventure any way I can find it; an adventure in faith being the best!

I grew up on my family’s dairy farm in central Minnesota where I was regularly found milking cows and driving tractors. I graduated from South Dakota State University where I majored in Dairy Production and Dairy Manufacturing. My interactions at the Newman Center at SDSU have inspired me to serve as a missionary and join the SPIRITUS team. I look forward to a great year of experiencing God's love and sharing it with others.

​

I am from Wisconsin and was raised as a cradle Catholic, my parents instilled a great desire to serve God radically and to use my gifts and talents for the glory of God. I am a professional harpist and nursing major who loves to read, bike, sing, ski, fence, and show the beauty of Christ's Church to others.

Hi! Praise the Lord for SPIRITUS Team 13! I am so excited to be back serving the youth of the Church! Some of my favorite things outside of the sacraments include spending time with family, playing board games, skiing and snowboarding, and hearing/telling a good pun. I am so looking forward to being back spreading the true joy of Jesus this mission year!

Hi, this is my first year as a SPIRITUS missionary. I left my teaching job to try and discern the priesthood. I love to read and write. My favorite forms of prayer are the Divine Mercy Chaplet and Adoration. I am working as ayouth ministry intern at. St. Paul Parish in Combined Locks.

I am from Massachusetts but I am a country gal at heart! You can catch me wearing a cowgirl hat and two-stepping whenever I can! I reverted back to the Catholic Church in 2016 and, since then, have had a growing love for Jesus and a call to serve others. I am  a youth ministry intern at St. Pius X Parish, Appleton. I’m both humbled and honored to be serving the youth of Wisconsin!

​

I am a lifelong denizen of the West Coast; I was born in San Francisco, was raised near Portland, OR, and went to school at Thomas Aquinas College in Southern California. I love music and movies of all kinds. I have just finished my master's degree in Japanese at Portland State, and want to start devoting my life to God!

​

I was born in Smithtown, NY. I have eight siblings and two loving parents. I love art, taking nature walks, reading, and hula hooping. Three things I am looking forward to with being a part of SPIRITUS are growing in intimacy with God, learning more about myself, and spreading God's love to others.

Hey, I’m the hometown kid that has grown up right here in Menasha. I’m a huge sports fan and enjoy doing outdoor activities. I went to college in Milwaukee and am excited to return home to continue doing the Lord's work in this amazing state!

Hi!  I grew up in Colombia, and I went to Notre Dame for college! I´m pretty good at salsa dancing and other latino dances such as merengue and bachata. I will be working as a youth ministry intern at St. Mary Parish in Appleton. I'm very excited to work with young people!”

I'm a Wisconsin native and I'm zealous to speak of Christ wherever He will take me this year! Before SPIRITUS.  I worked as a Totus Tuus teacher, restaurant manager, and  Americorps NCCC employee. I am excited to see all the ways God will love and provide for our missionaries and youth this year, and I am so happy to be a part of it!
