Faith Sharing

Our Peer Ministers make connections with students, foster relationships with and among students, help students experience a sense of belonging in our MMU community, and encourage students to participate in faith formation activites.

Christian Outreach and Social Justice

My goal is to collaborate with agencies to bring opportunities for MMU students to be involved in corporal and spiritual Works of Mercy.

I am from a dairy farm just ouside of the small town of St. Charles, Minnesota. I grew up in a big family as the second oldest out of 5 boys and 3 girls. I was raised Catholic and continue to grow my faith here on campus and also in the Yankton community by attending mass, reconciliation and adoration. I enjoy things like fishing, hiking, biking, soccer, showing sheep, milking cows, making pottery and various other activities. As a part of Mount Marty University, I play soccer while double majoring in Business and Parks and Recreation. I am fluent in English, decent in Spanish and currently working on my Frech, Italian and German. I am always around campus and love to make jokes. If you see me around don't be afraid to say hi, hola or bonjour!

Hi, I’m Maci Nemetz. I will be a sophomore this year studying nursing. I was born and raised in Atkinson, NE. I am the oldest of five children with one younger brother and three younger sisters. My parents raised us all Catholic and I have loved getting to deepen my faith thus far on campus. I am apart of the women’s basketball team, help lead women’s Bible study, and I am the secretary of the Lancers for Life club. Some of my hobbies include: shopping, cooking, going to the lake, attending Mass and Adoration, getting together with friends and family, going on nature walks, and taking care of flowers. I am very excited to be a Peer Minister this year, and I am looking forward to continuing to grow my faith while helping others do the same!

Prayer and Sacramental Opportunities

My goal is to help MMU students grow closer to Christ through prayer and sacramental experiences.
