My Story

I grew up with four siblings in a small city in Rhode Island. My parents raised us Catholic and we were very blessed to be active in our faith growing up but I didn’t have a relationship with Jesus. It wasn’t until college however when I was truly ready to make my faith my own, however the journey there wasn’t easy. At first I was seeking the college culture living for the world, longing to be known and seen by the ones around me but I came up empty every time. I didn’t understand why I still felt this longing to be seen as I had made many friends my first few weeks of college. It wasn’t until I was walking home with one of my friends and we found a commonality in Catholicism. We were talking about how we were both raised catholic and it sparked something inside of me and I said “we should go to mass one day together”. So the next Sunday we worked up the courage and walked up to the church and the first person I met was a FOCUS missionary. She came up to me and introduced herself, she then sat with me at mass and engaged in conversation with me after. I didn’t know why she wanted to talk to me. I was just another face in the crowd, just another freshman. But to her I was more. She knew that I was a daughter of God and she wanted me to know that too. 

After that mass I found myself quietly coming to the heart of Jesus. I knew who I was without Jesus and I never wanted to feel that again. I joined her bible study and grew in faith and scripture with the girls around me. I joined the Catholic Center executive board and was actively going to daily mass, confession and adoration. Through a simple conversation with a FOCUS missionary led into the journey of my faith. Four years later I am a senior in college and God is calling me to accept His invitation to serve Him. At first I wasn’t sure how to do that but with prayer and scripture it was clear He was calling me to become a FOCUS missionary. He wanted to invite me into the mission by going out and doing the same thing that changed my life, investing in college students.
