Financial executive by day, clean comedian by night. A Southern Indiana native, Luke has been awarded first place in the No Cringe Clean Comedy contest… but according to his wife, Megan, only ranks as the fourth funniest in their family of five. Luke delivers fun, relatable sets about family, marriage, everyday life, and the small absurdities that connect us all.

God save us from bad humor and sour faced saints! This quote from St. Teresa of Avila inspired the name of the first Catholic improv group in the Kentuckiana area. Always clean and always Catholic, this group is ready to turn your suggestions into skits on the fly – no script in sight!
Sour Faced Saints is part of Incarnatus Performing Arts
Why This Night Matters
Catalyst Catholic partners with parishes across the New Albany Deanery to help young people encounter Jesus Christ. Through retreats, conferences, service opportunities, leadership formation, athletics, and countless moments of faith and friendship, we've had the privilege of supporting youth ministry for over sixty years.
Gather & Give is our opportunity to celebrate what God has done through this ministry—and to invest in what comes next.
Every ticket reserved, every conversation shared, and every gift given helps us continue serving the parishes of our deanery with meaningful programs, resources, and opportunities that no parish could provide alone.
Join us for an evening of great food, genuine community, plenty of laughter, and inspiring stories as we celebrate the impact we've made together and look forward to the future.
Because of you, young people will continue to encounter Christ, build community, and live their faith with courage.
Thank you for believing in the next generation.
