Lindsay YoungI am a KC native who first met Jesus the summer before my freshman year of high school and quickly fell in love with Christ and His Church. My “yes” to Jesus’s invitation to come follow Him has taken me places I never imagined I’d go! After high school I left the suburbs of KC behind for pilgrimage to Krakow, Poland for World Youth Day in 2016. I ran into a bunch of Ravens there and knew I’d made the right choice in making Benedictine College my next home.
My charming years studying at Benedictine in Atchison, KS brought about many adventures including studying in Italy for a semester. While abroad, I went on a mission trip to Albania to serve alongside some religious sisters in their homes of mercy for abandoned girls and women with disabilities. My experience on mission caused me to decide to switch majors from Nursing to Theology and stirred up my hunger to see souls encounter the love of Jesus!
After graduating college in 2020, I spent a short stint of time discerning religious life in Maryland and then found myself on mission back in KC serving families and children in need as an early childhood education teacher at Operation Breakthrough. Since my return to KC I've been blessed to be involved in several Catholic communities including Encounter Ministries, St. Paul’s Outreach, Desert Stream Ministries, City on a Hill, and the Young Adults of the Lamb. I am passionate about talking to strangers on airplanes, street ministry, Maverick City Music, rock scrambling, my family and friends, and most of all the Lord. I am so excited to be joining the campus ministry team at SPX and can’t wait to see what God has in store for this community. Come Holy Spirit! -
Charles MwauraI was born in Kenya, but I have been a Kansas Citian since I was five. I graduated from Oak Park High School in 2014, spent a year in Arizona studying to be a professional pilot before I spent two and a half years in the seminary, and finally finished my degree at St. Louis University with a Bachelor's in Philosophy, and a minor in Flight Science and Catholic Studies.
Along with Lindsay, I am an active member of the young adult community City on a Hill, as well as St. Paul's outreach. These two groups give me a community of young believers who are running after the Lord with a zeal and passion like no other. I love all things outdoors, especially playing soccer, and rock climbing. I also don’t like avocados, and no one can convince me to.
I am so incredibly blessed to do the Lord’s work at St. Pius X, running after the heart of our God, and striving towards holiness as a school community. Be assured that God is in control of it all, and I know that he will do great things! God bless!
