We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
Love Him totally, who gave Himself totally for your love.
St. Clare of Assisi
I am excited to be a first-year serving at Shippensburg University in Shippensburg, PA!
I was born and raised Catholic and grew up going to Mass. But one big thing was missing: I didn’t know that I could have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. That changed my freshman year at Saint Francis University when I was invited to join a FOCUS Bible study and learned so much about the faith. When going through the parable of the Prodigal Son, I learned that God actually loves me, isn’t some distant being that is unreachable, and that I am His beloved daughter. The more I let the Lord’s love into my life by going to daily Mass and frequenting Eucharistic adoration, the more I desired to share His love with others. I want the students I serve to know what I didn’t: the Father is already running to them.
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, please let me know of the best way to reach you and we can schedule an appointment. I’d be honored to share this mission with you.

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.
