MEET THE CORE TEAM

 

   

Allison LeChevallier
Allison hails from the Garden State of New Jersey where she perfected her croquet and dart skills before heading west to the Rocky Mountain State in August '07.  She is a professional bear hunter and lion tamer and can fit her whole fist into her mouth! These are only some of the talents she learned while studying at Franciscan University of Steubenville where she graduated with her degree in Catechetics and Youth Ministry. She loves living in Denver and can't wait for more adventures! Send her emails and funny videos at: allisonlec@gmail.com

     

  Michelle Kirschbaum
Michelle is originally from the land of corn and pigs (Iowa) and prior to moving to Colorado in August of 2007 graduated from Marquette University's Physician Assistant program.  She has been involved with youth groups and University ministry activities and retreats for sometime and is excited to continue this involvement here in Denver.  Outside of working in a Family Practice clinic enjoys all the activities that the Colorado terrain has to offer - skiing, hiking, camping, running and biking as well as enjoys traveling and going on mission trips in Central and South America.  She is so far loving her experiences here in Denver and looks forward to much more excitement and adventures in the future. She would love to hear from you at michelle.kirschbaum@gmail.com.
     

 

Carey Pearsall
Carey is currently studying as a Seminarian at St. John Vianney Seminary. Please pray for him, and hopefully next year he can re-join us at youth group!

Carey was raised in farm land michigan until he moved here 6 years ago.  Even more than he loves guitar is his love for Jesus, which has deepened since he entered the Catholic Church several years ago.   Find his music on myspace or drop him a line at: coolcatcarey@hotmail.com.

     
   

Nathan Auth
Nate is originally from Twin Falls Idaho, but he moved to Denver because he loves the city going to the mountains. He builds things for a living and loves creativity and designing. He's here to stay in Denver not only because of the mountains but because he is marrying Allison. His interests are: Allison (of course) Camping, Hiking, Snowboarding, Wakeboarding, Skiing, Cliff Jumping, Golf, Baseball, Football. There's just about no dare that he wouldn't do! Email him double-dog dares at: nathan_auth@yahoo.com.

     

  

  Amy Keating
Amy blew in from the Windy City of Chicago in March 2007 and has been enjoying the high life (the MILE-high life, that is) ever since! The altitude has not only given Amy the edge she needs to go back to sea level and run her personal best in the Chicago Marathon,but it has also given her a much deeper appreciation for oxygen and breathing in general. Aside from running, Amy also enjoys walking, skipping as well as the occasional saunter. Amy couldn't be happier to be involved in youth ministry and looks forward to the many more good times ahead. Feel free to email her at: akeating16@yahoo.com.
     
    Andrea Cronin
What can be said about the life Andrea has led? She has a very unique life, as does everyone! But hers begins in the great state Oregon. Some of you might recall this state because of its famous trail. Some of you have might even played the game, having lost some of your members to typhoid along the way. Anyways, she moved to Colorado in the summer of 07' where she began her life's dream of becoming an Olympic athlete in croquet.  Well her dreams of China ‘08 were dashed when she realized how ridiculous this sport is after Allison beat her.  So, she decided to enter the world of physical therapy instead and will be headed back to school next year. While not working or helping at SVDP, you can find her playing sports, doing something outdoors, or laughing incessantly at "Laffy Taffy" jokes. Send her more jokes at: cronin.andrea@gmail.com.
     
 

 

 Stephen Ray
Stephen is also a transplant - coming to Denver from Nebraska to get his PhD in something very scientific involving genes and molecules and stuff.  He is from a big family of 10 and loves his faith.
