We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.

Hi, I’m Luke! The missionary, not Skywalker or the author of the Gospel!

beg of Him with most earnest prayer to perfect it” — St. Benedict
Where I serve
I’m currently serving as a first-year missionary at Louisiana Tech in Ruston, Louisiana—Go Dogs! The Lord has called me to serve as a Greek missionary, accompanying men in their personal walks with Christ. You can find me playing spikeball, at the golf course (check here first), or hanging around St. Thomas Aquinas down here in The Boot!
My Story
By the time I got to college, I had been Catholic all my life. However, a quick recap of the two years prior would show I was quickly becoming part of a statistic most people aren’t aware of; 80% of those who leave the faith do so by 23. Fast-forward through the first two years of college; not much changed.
It wasn’t until an encounter with Christ through a missionary that I began to see the outline of God’s greater plan for me. Through His grace, He called me home and has implanted in me the desire to share His love with others.
I’m so excited and blessed to spread His word!
