We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
“Declare His marvelous deeds among all the people.”
1 Chronicles 16:24

I will be serving at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette! I am so excited to be welcomed into the Ragin’ Cajun community!
Going into college I knew my Catholic faith was important to me and I so desired a community that felt similarly. I made an effort to get involved with the Catholic community as soon as I stepped foot on campus at Mississippi State University. Little did I know that was the start of what would grow to be the Cowbell Catholic community. I was introduced to the FOCUS missionaries during their first year on campus and was invited to join a Bible study. An invitation as simple as that transformed my college experience. Through this, I found the community I so desired and prayed for. Over those next four years, I grew in so many ways and was blessed to be surrounded by like minded people too. I eventually began to lead a Bible study of my own and grew in community even more by leading those around me. It has been a blessing to see those around me be transform in their faith and relationship with God and to be a part of their walk with the Lord. I decided to become a FOCUS missionary to invite others into the community I so desired when I was a freshman.

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.
