Alumni Experiences

Saint Ann's Invictus Youth Ministries was launched in August 2014. Since then, we have been blessed with participation, leadership, and examples of faithfulness from a variety of young people. Our students come from all sorts of educational backgrounds: public and parochial, private and preparatory, boarding and home school. Their faith's lived through their involvement in sports, arts, technology, and a variety of passions. Many have gone on to four year universities, military service, gap years, two year universities, the work force, and experiences abroad. Here are the reflections of just a few Invictus alums:

Bishop O'Connell ''20 - University of Dallas

Invictus was my happy place in high school - it was a comfortable environment where my faith was strengthened by a community that became a family and which is still responsible for my love for and following of Christ.

Liam Wells

Yorktown '19 - Longwood University

I really do miss all of my friends from Invictus (Ellie, Jacob, Matteo, Frank, etc). I haven’t seen them in a while, and I miss them a lot. Invictus gave me the opportunities to make lifelong friendships, and that’s something I’m really grateful for.

Maddie Ryan

Bishop O'Connell '19 - University of Mary Washington

At Invictus I made lifelong friends. I miss having an outlet to spend time recapping each week with people who were so loving and equally as open with me as I was with them.

Phillip Reeves

Thomas Jefferson HS for Science & Tech '19 - UVA

Invictus was an always-welcoming community for me to strengthen my faith and grow closer to current and new friends through Bible study, lock-ins, retreats, and fun, relaxing trips.

Mary Salinas

Bishop O'Connell '19 - Virginia Tech

Invictus gave me a place where I could feel safe being completely myself without fearing being judged. It allowed me to grow so much as an individual, and in my relationship with friends, family, and God.

Justin Boyle

Yorktown '20 - LSU

Invictus was a great place to get together with some new people, and get really close to each other and grow together in so many different ways.
