Roman Lalach

Hi, my name is Roman Lalach. I’m one of the representatives for the CCSA from the Western region. I am a second year biomedical sciences student at the University of Saskatchewan. I am a Byzantine Ukrainian Catholic, which is one of the Eastern churches of the Catholic Church. Apart from my faith and education, I am involved in our university rowing club and the Ukrainian students club on campus. I am so grateful to be able to co-represent Western Canada along with Jarrod. I am excited at the opportunities that are ahead of us over the next year.

Gabriella Giorgi

My name is Gabriella Giorgi. I'm currently a second-year student at McGill University in Montreal. I study English literature with a minor concentration in environmental studies. At McGill, I am the VP of Communications of our Newman Catholic Students' Society, as well as an executive for a few other clubs, including a piano teaching organization and motionballU, which raises money for the Special Olympics. I love all things English and music and spend my time at our Newman Centre practicing piano. I hope this year the CCSA can make Catholic students at all universities in Canada feel connected throughout the year.

Hello all! My name is Zahlee Kennedy Churchill, and I’m a second year Business student at Saint Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia.

For two years I have been involved in StFX’s chaplaincy and The Catholics at X Society. I am assistant to our campus Chaplain. I prepare for masses and organize and lead meetings and events. I am honoured to be one of the CCSA Atlantic Representatives and look forward to collaborating and working with the 2025 executive team. With God at the helm and Holy Spirit guiding, let’s shine bright in our Canadian Catholic community university campuses!

Fayssal Fabrice Savadogo

Bonjour à tous, je m’appelle Fayssal Fabrice Savadogo. Originaire du Burkina Faso, je suis économiste de formation et je poursuis actuellement mes études au doctorat en science politique à l’Université Laval. Je suis le président de l’Association Étudiante Catholique de l’Université Laval (AEC). Notre association accompagne les étudiants dans leur cheminement humain et spirituel. À travers nos activités, nous cherchons à favoriser des liens fraternels entre étudiants, à nourrir la vie spirituelle par la prière et les célébrations liturgiques, à approfondir la foi chrétienne, et à encourager l’engagement des étudiants, des enseignants et de l’ensemble de la communauté universitaire en faveur d’un monde plus juste et solidaire. En parallèle de mon parcours académique et de mon engagement au sein de l’AEC, je cultive une passion de longue date pour le cinéma, un univers riche en émotions et en récits, qui me permet de porter un regard différent sur le monde. C’est donc avec beaucoup de joie et d’enthousiasme que je rejoins le conseil d’administration de l’Association Canadienne des Étudiants Catholiques, où j’aurai le privilège de représenter la région du Centre du Canada. C’est un honneur et une joie profonde pour moi de contribuer à cette aventure humaine et spirituelle, aux côtés d’autres jeunes engagés, pour bâtir une communauté étudiante vivante, fraternelle et enracinée dans la foi.

Stephanie Bell

Hello! I am thrilled to be joining the CCSA this year. As a first-year student at Saint Thomas University in Fredericton, N.B., I am pursuing a double major in Psychology and Great Books. My faith journey is deeply enriched by our vibrant campus ministry, where I cherish weekly community lunches, summit nights, lectures and strong sense of fellowship. I am passionate about bringing others into the faith and hearing the beautiful, unique journeys of other young Catholics. Outside of academics, I love theatre, singing karaoke with my sisters, reading and being immersed in nature! With a curious mind and enthusiastic heart, I cannot wait to embark on this new adventure with the CCSA! God bless!
