His genuine love for all of God’s creations and his unwavering commitment to the teachings of the Church make him a true role model for others.
Evan’s involvement extends beyond Vandebilt Catholic High School. He actively serves at St. Francis De Sales as an altar server, including serving as a Pontifical Server for Bishop Dorsonville and participating in the Bishop’s funeral Mass.
