Worship: Ben Walther
Ben Walther began writing songs while serving as a worship leader in college. His first album, Where I Want to Be, launched a season of traveling, giving band members a chance to share their story of hope in God’s abundant blessings. In 2008 he released a six-song EP in a collaborative effort with Robbie Seay of Sparrow Records and Matt Maher. Most recently, working with SpiritandSong.com, a division of OCP, and producer Tom Booth, Ben recorded Make Your Home In Me, a collection of seven new worship songs. A worship leader for St. Thomas More Catholic Church and Adore Ministries, Ben says his most profound blessings are his lovely wife, Maria, their four daughters, and their baby boy.
Team Priest: Fr. Louis Merosne
Father Louis Merosne is madly in love with the Trinity, the Blessed Mother, and the Catholic Church. Born in Haiti, he moved to Boston in 1993. He studied French, philosophy, and theology at Franciscan University from 2002 to 2007. Ordained in 2011, he now serves in Haiti in the Diocese of Anse-à-Veau and Miragoâne under Bishop Pierre-André Dumas. He cannot adequately express in words the gift that is the priesthood. Preaching the good news of Jesus Christ is both a duty and passion for him. His perpetual prayer intention is to be a saintly priest.

Megan Mastroianni
Megan Mastroianni is the campus minister at Mount de Sales Academy in Baltimore, Maryland. She graduated from Franciscan University with a degree in psychology and then worked for Generation Life as a pro-life and chastity speaker. In her three years there, traveling the United States and Europe, she spoke to tens of thousands of high school and college students in their classrooms, as well as at retreats, conferences, assemblies, and rallies. Although her primary focus at Generation Life was to speak on chastity, theology of the body, and pro-life issues, she has given talks on modesty, femininity and masculinity, media, vocations, Mary, confession, and conversion. Megan’s hope is for people to have a deeper desire for intimacy with Christ.
