Avery Starr

2021 Summer Missionary

Avery Starr Lumen Christi missionary

My name is Avery Starr. I am 19 years old and a sophomore at SDSU where I am studying journalism. I am from Sioux Falls, SD. I have a neurological condition, cerebral palsy, that has made it hard for me to even walk. Through the grace of God however, I have been able to not let that stop me, and now hope to one day be on American Ninja Warrior.

I joined Lumen Christi this summer because I knew I wanted to study journalism, but talking about current events is pointless without knowing how to share the best news ever, the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Avery served parishes in the Aberdeen deanery on team Bls. Pier Giorgio Frassati & Chiara Badano with Kelsie Olson, Anna Fischer and Donnie Yackley.
