Hi, I am Nate.

I live in Yorktown, VA. I am currently a Sophomore in Aerospace Engineering at Virginia Tech. I am also in the Corps of Cadets, pursuing a career in the Navy. I am interested in history and aviation. My personality is best described as passionate and intense. But I’m also very simple and have fun doing goofy things. One of the things that brings me the most joy in life is getting to know the hearts of those around me. I believe that one of my greatest purposes in life is to share the love of God by getting to know other people’s hearts intimately and serving them.

Favorite Saint: “Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire” – St. Catherine of Siena

Favorite Scripture Verse: ”As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love.“ (John 15:9)

Join My Support Team!

I am serving with a team of young adult mission leaders to run week-long international and domestic mission trips. This summer, our teams will be serving in Eastern, KY, New Orleans, LA, Lake Charles, LA, South Texas, Puerto Rico, Belize, and the Dominican Republic. My summer begins in May with two weeks of missionary training, followed by 9 weeks of intense service, and a debrief retreat at the end. We serve in areas that have been affected by natural disasters and in areas of chronic poverty. Our projects mainly consist of home, school, and church repair and renovation. We have the honor of working alongside several religious communities, including the Missionaries of Charity, the Pallottine Sisters, and the Comunidad Misionera de Villaregia.
Beyond the great physical work of rebuilding, our mission teams will run retreats for our mission group, opening up the door for the Holy Spirit to work in the hearts of those who serve with us. We start each day with Mass, give formational reflections in the evening, facilitate small group discussions, and bring the groups to adore Jesus Blessed Sacrament and to receive His mercy in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Wow! It is such an impactful week for the community we serve, the groups who come to serve with us, for us as mission leaders, and you as mission partners.
Our expected work project expenses for 2024 total approximately $100,000. My personal goal is to raise $6,000. I am excited to share with you my journey with God as a missionary and invite you to become one of my mission partners. Everything that we have is from God and everything that we give is from God. Where is God asking you to invest?  Please consider joining me on mission by making a one-time or recurring donation to support the work of Catholic Mission Trips, Inc. Your prayers and financial support will bring hope and restore dignity to the families we serve. We would be honored to have you partner with us at $50-$100 a month. I look forward to connecting with you and experiencing mission together! Thank you for joining my support team!
