Hi! My name is Iza, grateful to be part of the Boston community! I spent a lot of my childhood in Poland, so I think of it as my true home, but my homebase in the U.S. is in Toms River, NJ. I studied electrical engineering at Rutgers in New Jersey and graduated in 2024. God transformed my life through the catholic community at Rutgers, where I found genuine friendship and a place where I could freely be myself. Last year I worked with Saint Paul’s Outreach in the twin cities of St.Paul/Minneapolis in Minnesota, singing at mass for local parishes there. I love to paint, bake and do all kinds of outdoorsy things like camping and whitewater rafting. Excited to meet all you awesome people, thanks for welcoming me!

Hey! My name is Emilia and I am super excited to be here at the Catholic Center! Back in the day, I was a BU Terrier majoring in Painting and Art Education. Much to my own surprise, college ended up being a huge time of change and growth in my faith life and being part of Catholic community was THE BEST part of my college experience. Its how I met my husband Jared and made most of the friendships I still have to this day! I am always down to get coffee, go to the MFA, or show you my favorite parts of the city ( I lived in Boston for 11 years before moving to Natick.) My favorite sport is aggressive bargain hunting, especially for vintage clothes. I’m looking forward to hearing your stories and walking with you towards the Lord!

Hello friends, I am SO excited to be back in Boston, where I met my husband and graduated from Boston University with a degree in Education a couple of decades ago. Currently, I live north of the city with my hubby, 4 kids, and a sweet cavapoo named Ruby. A few of my favorite activities are taking road trips, walking on the beach, swimming in natural bodies of water, relaxing near a campfire, singing to Jesus, soaking in God’s Word, and hearing the laughter of those that I love. I am passionate about partnering with the Lord to bring His children into the joy and freedom that is our inheritance! Recently, I have been blessed to serve as a minister of Unbound deliverance prayer with a non-profit called Houses of Mercy. In addition, I am deepening my relationship with the Lord as an alum and occasional instructor for the Encounter School of Ministry, Boston Campus. My heart’s desire is to see my fellow human beings through God’s eyes- and what a beautiful experience it has been! It’s my privilege to be a part of the Catholic Center community, and I look forward to sharing the journey with you!  

 As a daughter of the Most High God, I believe and declare:

“The spirit of the Lord God is upon me; He has sent me to bring good news to the afflicted, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, release to the prisoners, to comfort all who mourn; to give them oil of gladness instead of mourning, a glorious mantle instead of a faint spirit.” – Isaiah 61:1-3

Hey friends!  I’m Dave Haig and I’m excited to be back in the Catholic Center community!  I’m originally from Guilford, CT (near New Haven), and I graduated from Northeastern in May 2020 with a degree in Computer Science and Business Analytics.  The Catholic Center was the best part of my time as a student here, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to devote my time and talents fully to this community and this city!  In my free time, I like to play/watch sports, play music (primarily on guitar these days), and read books that help me grow.  The Lord has shown me over and over that His plans for my life are better than my own haha. I’m excited to be a joyful witness on campus of what it looks like to say yes to God!  Hope to see you soon!

Hey guys! Br. Joseph here and I’m excited to be joining you guys in Boston! I’m originally from a suburb near Cleveland, Ohio where my love for basketball, frisbee, mountains (Ok, maybe not in Ohio), and Skyline Chili began. I graduated from THE Ohio State University with a degree in Civil Engineering. It was there, during my Freshman year, that I decided to honestly give God a real chance for the first time in my life. That was the greatest decision I ever made. Since then I’ve worked full-time as a Civil Engineer in Ohio, an SPO Missionary at Rutgers in New Jersey, and a Novice in Tallahassee, Florida. And in July ‘21 I made my first vows in the Brotherhood of Hope!! Let’s gooo!! I can’t wait to meet all of you soon!

Hello everyone! My name is William Mueller and I am excited to be serving here in the northeast. I am originally from the small town of Stewartville, Minnesota and recently graduated with a BA in Economics and Philosophy from the University of St Thomas (MN). Throughout my time at St Thomas I met some fellow Saint Paul’s Outreach missionaries who helped me encounter the Lord and learn of his unwavering love and mercy for me. I am grateful to be able to share this gift with you all now in Boston! On a more practical level, I love Taco Bell, playing sports (especially hockey and soccer), and watching thriller movies or ones so dumb you have to make fun of them. If you have even an ounce of interest in watching the Sharknado series, I’m your guy. Overall, I’m excited to be able to serve and run with this community for the next few years!

I’m honored to work for the Catholic Center, serving God and helping support the ministry on campus. I love the outdoors, the gym, and spicy food. I can’t wait to meet everyone!

Welcome! I’m Brother Jason and I look forward to meeting you! I’m from Ft. Myers, Florida and I studied Mathematics in college at Florida State University. While in college I had a blast being in the Marching Chiefs, a 500+ marching band, playing trombone. And if you are a runner, let me know, I would love to have you join us for our annual Half Marathon! I am honored to be your brother and I look forward to running with you on your journey back to the Father’s House!

“For I know well the plans I have in mind for you—oracle of the LORD—plans for your welfare and not for woe, so as to give you a future of hope. When you call me, and come and pray to me, I will listen to you. When you look for me, you will find me. Yes, when you seek me with all your heart, I will let you find me—oracle of the LORD—and I will change your lot; I will gather you together from all the nations and all the places to which I have banished you—oracle of the LORD—and bring you back to the place from which I have exiled you.”
– Jeremiah 29:11-14
