SAVANNAH STEVENS

TEAM CAPTAIN, SPIRITUAL CHAIR

Hi! My name is Savannah Stevens. I was born and raised in Lake Charles, graduated from St. Louis Catholic High School in 2012, and graduated from Louisiana State University in 2016 (Geaux Tigers!). I grew up in the Episcopal faith and was always very involved in and drawn to the church. While I am so grateful to my previous church for marvelously cultivating in me a solid faith and love for Jesus, I couldn’t shake the feeling that there had to be more. Not long after I moved home from LSU, I began attending daily morning mass at OLQH which eventually led to my attendance at a Truth Poured Out event in 2018. During this TPO, I not only discovered the truth (pun intended) about a lot of misconceptions I held about the Catholic Church, but I also felt a tug at my heart that this might be the “more” for which my soul had been searching. Through a series of events that can I can only describe as divine intervention, I eventually enrolled in RCIA classes, discovered the joy of Marian Consecration, and was confirmed in the Catholic Church this past Easter! (2019) Through this awesome community of Fully Alive, I have found so many amazing friends who inspire me daily to grow in my Catholic faith and in my journey to heaven. I am ecstatic to serve on the Leadership Team and can’t wait to share my love and enthusiasm for Lake Charles and especially our Fully Alive community!

BRANDON BROUSSARD

EVANGELIZATION

My name is Brandon Broussard and I am honored to be a part of the amazing community of Fully Alive. I am a Lake Charles native raised in the Catholic faith. I attended McNeese State University where I graduated in Exercise Science. I am currently pursuing my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Marshall University. Like many other examples in my life, my time in physical therapy school was a great blessing but it also came with many burdens. It was the Catholic Church that remained a constant refuge for me during times of stress and anxiety. Although I was 16 hours away from friends and family, I felt at home in the Catholic Church where I continued to seek Christ and His will for my life. Shortly after moving back to Lake Charles, I attended a Fully Alive event and once again found a sense of purpose and belonging. I am humbled to join the leadership team and will do my best to continue the momentum our wonderful community has created!

After graduating from Sulphur High in 2005, I attended Northwestern State University where I earned my Bachelors of Science in 2009.

HANNAH LONGINO

SOCIAL

Hey, Hey, Heyyy! ;) 

My name is Hannah Longino. I was born and raised Catholic in a small ole town in Louisiana, called Oakdale. I graduated from Oakdale High School in 2014. From there, I decided that McNeese State University was going to be the perfect place for me...and it was! I was actively involved in the Newman Center, which most definitely helped my faith grow and mature. Built long lasting, authentic friendships there, as well. Grand time! During my college years, I was also the youth director from my hometown parish (Sacred Heart) for over 2 years, while also living in Lake Charles and attending college. Yea...it was crazy at times going back and forth haha...but I love the youth! Graduated from McNeese with my Bachelors degree in Elementary Education in 2018. After graduation, I knew that God was calling me to stay in LC and fulfill my mission here. So, I let go of youth ministry in Oakdale. Now, I am a currently a 2nd grade teacher at Gillis Elementary. I love my kids!!! Lastly, I’m SO thrilled to serve on the LT! It’s been calling my name for quite some time, so it was time to tell the Lord, “Yes!” I’m open and willing, and you should be, too! What a great way to become FULLY ALIVE in your faith and be a part of a wonderful community that is eager to support you in your walk with Christ.

TRUTH POURED OUT CHAIR

Hello! After graduating from St. Louis Catholic High School here in Lake Charles in 2013, I earned a degree in Instrumentation from Sowela in 2015. While I’m grateful for my education from Sowela, I craved to be a part of a community of like minded people. That’s why when I heard about Fully Alive! I was eager to join. When I’m not working as a fuel coordinator for Turner Industries in Westlake, I’m usually hanging out with friends either at a Fully Alive! event or some other fun shindig in town. I’m very grateful for the opportunity we have as young adults to be Fully Alive together.
