Hello! My name is Nathan Neuherz and I am glad to be returning as CCM President! Things to know about me would include my passion for the outdoors including hunting, fishing, and hiking. I always found my best prayer life is when I'm outside in nature, so to have that combination makes the woods and water my favorite places to be. I have a background in farming, and love taking care of cows as well. In addition, I really enjoy working on vehicles, but preferably just my truck. These interests are why I'm also president of the hunting club and designated team mom of the Baja club.
The reason that I've decided to remain as CCM president is because I can see the way our ministry is developing and wouldn't miss that for the world! I have many plans for our ministry and cannot wait to see what God has in store. Some of my best friends have been made through CCM, and we are constantly bringing new members into our community. My goal this year is to continue building our ministry and really help new and returning members connect with their faith! Looking forward to a great year and am excited to see what is to come.

My name is Dorian Baurle and I am entering my second year on leadership. I am the drummer at mass here on campus. I am a high school drumline instructor, a huge Pittsburgh sports fan (all sports), and enjoy playing tennis, ultimate frisbee, whiffle ball, and football. I also devote a lot of time working at PennDOT and Moe's, as well as perfecting my craft as a drummer.
I joined CCM because my brother introduced me to it. I had always gone to church growing up but never really understood the deeper meaning of church and our faith. After a full year of being in CCM, I felt like my life was starting to change for the better. Because of this, I felt I could use my experiences and newfound understandings to also bring change to others, so I joined Leadership.

I this will be my third year serving on leadership, and as secretary, and I am excited to see what this year has in store.

Hi, my name is Walter Mattiko. I've been playing the saxophone since I was in 4th grade, and can be found performing with the choir at Walley Chapel and the UPJ concert and jazz bands. When I'm not playing music or grinding through coursework, I spend my time with UPJ's Baja team, where I am the design lead and current Vice-President. In addition, I enjoy hiking, hockey, tennis, and baking.
I joined CCM for a sense of community and to reconnect with God. Also because Ladonna is a great cook. I eventually decided to join the leadership team because I felt that it was a next step forward in deepening my faith, and that it would provide an opportunity for me to make use of my skills and experiences in a positive way.

Hi my name is Angelina Kutsick and I am the coordinator of liturgy and worship at CCM! I am so excited to be a part of this team! I am currently in my final parts of my pre requisites for pharmacy school. I love to bake, fish and go on adventures. I am a registered pharmacy technician and work at a local pharmacy.
I joined CCM not just because I am a Catholic, but because I wanted to grow more in my faith. I went to Catholic school for 12 years and I still am learning more about my faith everyday. I want others to share my love for Christ and remind them that God is always there. I want to be an inspiration for all.
