We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
Hi! My name is Anna Baquet and I am a first year missionary!
“Great Love can change small things into great ones, and it is only love which lends value to our actions” – St. Faustina
The Lord has sent me to Mississippi State University to serve students and bring the word of Christ to them! I am blessed to start my first year on mission in Starkville. Hail Mary, Hail State! 
I grew up in New Iberia, LA, where I raised Catholic and attended Catholic High School. I then went on to attend LSU (Geaux Tigers) and that is where my faith grew tremendously. I was constantly met with opportunities to grow in relationship with the Lord and deepen my faith. My sophomore year of college, I went on a FOCUS mission trip to Peru. There, I encountered the love of God and learned what it meant to have virtuous friendships. Since then, I have been invested in by missionaries and even got the opportunity to start investing in the girls around me. I have found great joy in walking with others to Christ. The Lord has called me to continue to share in life with others and now I am becoming a FOCUS missionary! I am super excited to continue this journey and bring Christ to the heart of others!
“Some give by going and some go by giving. The Mission cannot go on without either.”
– Mother Teresa
When I answered the call to join FOCUS, I made the decision to rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners to help me through this mission. If you are interested in partnering with me by supporting this mission, please reach out to me and I’d love to meet with you. May God bless you!

We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.

By building genuine friendships, we meet students on a deeper level.

We teach students how to share the gospel, who in turn teach other students how to pass it on.
