In the fall I will be going into my second year at SDSU, studying Geographic Information Sciences. I enjoy waterskiing, rock climbing, ultimate frisbee, rollerblading, and delightful hikes in nature. Luke is serving parishes across the diocese with his teammates: AnneMarie Smith, Ella Ulmer and Mason Krause.

2022 Summer Missionary Hello, my name is Ella Ulmer and I am from Aberdeen. This fall I will be a freshman at the University of Mary studying English and Catholic Studies in order to become a writer or free-lance editor. One fun fact about me is that I am an identical twin and you can consider me the cooler one for doing Lumen Christi this summer. I also grew up on a ranch and love the outdoors. Ella is serving parishes across the diocese with her teammates: Mason Krause, Luke Tunge, and AnneMarie Smith.

I am studying Political Science at SDSU with plans to apply for law school afterwards. I have quit every sport I ever started, and I'm proud. You should be too. Zach is serving parishes across the diocese with his teammates: Allison Kluver, Courtney Holt, and seminarian, Brady Martinez.

Kathryn Cassidy

2022 Summer Missionary My name is Kathryn and I am from Sioux Falls, SD. Even though I am from the most urban area of South Dakota I have an irrational fear that I am going to get attacked by a moose. I have never seen a moose in real life even during my time at the University of Mary in Bismarck, ND. Kathryn is serving parishes across the diocese with her teammates: Brandon Amburn, Jessica Boekelheide and James Herzog.

2022 Summer Missionary My name is James Herzog. I am from New Ulm, Minnesota. I am a graduate of the University of Saint Thomas (Saint Paul, MN). Something that I am most proud of is that I completed a 75-mile hiking trip in camo crocs, and I didn't even get blisters.

2022 Summer Missionary Hello, my name is Maria Dvoracek. I grew up in St. Cloud, MN but now live in Sioux Falls and graduated from O'Gorman high school. Next year I will be a missionary with the School Sisters of Christ the King. I black out more than the average person, but don't worry...just don't pierce my ears or show me ground hamburger. I love making music, particularly singing and playing clarinet. Maria will be serving parishes across the diocese with her teammates: Micah Impecoven, Grace Johanson and seminarian, Matthew Harris.
