nanatComing most recently from Hastings, and following on several years teaching high school, Fr. Hall is overjoyed to be the pastor here at Martyrs. Fr. Hall was an engineer for a few years before hearing the call to the priesthood.  He was also in a rock band and still performs from time to time. Fr. Hall does not love sweets, but he does love teaching the faith, counseling souls, and being the pastor here at Martyrs. He is also a chaplain for a ministry very dear to his heart called Eden Invitation.

Fr. Wahlmeier grew up near Hastings, NE as the eleventh of fifteen children. After graduating from St. Gregory the Great Seminary, he spent four years in Rome completing his theological training, working on an advanced degree in biblical theology, and getting to know the Church Universal. He’s passionate about Scripture and languages and enjoys dabbling in painting and board games. But mostly he enjoys being a priest at Martyrs.

After serving as a priest in the missions and as a seminary formator in his home country of Sri Lanka, Fr. Asitha has been sent on loan to us! His connection to Lincoln stretches back to his seminary days when he studied with the Lincoln seminarians at Mount Saint Mary’s Seminary in Maryland. And we are overjoyed to have him back with us. Fr. Asitha loves cooking, talking with people, hearing confessions, and waking up early. And he loves being a priest here at Martyrs.
