2020-21 Peer Ministry Team!

Katy Schermerhorn

I am a 4^th year at Western studying marketing with a minor in business analytics. I think it’s important to glorify God in all our work, so I am looking forward to transferring my business education to the Newman community as PM of Admin. I enjoy writing, puzzles, spending time outside, and adoration. The people at the Newman have changed my life, and I can’t wait to see how God works this year!

Justin Hecht

This is my fourth year at Western, and I am studying journalism. I love to play basketball, watch movies, talk about movies, read, hike and pet dogs. During my second year here, I was brought back to the Church by the grace of God and have never looked back. Memento Mori.

Michael Schacher

Born in South Dakota, raised in Iowa, taken around the world by the Navy, and stayed in Washington. I love reading, praying, and reading about praying. All the things I’ve learned in a university pale in comparison to any one line of the Creed. Deo gratias.

Amy Joyce

This is my fourth year at WWU and I’m majoring in Elementary and Special Education. Finding a Catholic community in our Newman center has helped me to fall back in love with my faith again, which is why I’m so looking forward to being Peer Minister of Events this year! I love making art, camping, reading, and learning more about our beautiful faith!

              Luke Wall

Hello there! My name is Luke Wall. I’m majoring in psychology and minoring in philosophy and Spanish. God has worked tremendous grace in my life through this community and I look forward to giving back in any way I can. I’ll be responsible for Newman retreats and helping lead the RCIA program. I love all things Catholic but have a special love for apologetics and philosophy. I also enjoy good friends, the outdoors, and earnest discussion. Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam.

Claire Henninger

This is my third year at WWU and I’m studying kinesiology with a sport and exercise psychology specialization. I love to play soccer, hike, cook, read, ski, learn, and compete at literally anything. The Lord has been so incredibly, undeservedly good to me; I desire to live for Him and grow in love for Him daily. I’m super stoked to have the opportunity to glorify God through the gift of music and serve my peers. Go Viks! And more importantly, Go Jesus!
