“Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God.”

John 6:68

Where I serve

The Lord has called me to serve in Monterrey, Mexico at the University of Monterrey (UDEM).

My Story

At the beginning of my time in college I began to struggle with a serious anxiety disorder. It took a toll on my academics, my relationships and my faith. Unable to function or move forward, I became a dead man walking.

In the midst of this, I was continually invited to turn to Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. What seemed like a small commitment to daily prayer turned out to be one of the most impactful decisions I would make. Jesus Christ, present in the Eucharist, in daily communion, and in every single person who was supporting me, was bringing me back to life! No longer did I live in dread but was given back the joy that once characterized me. No longer was I weighed down by anxiety but could breathe and face the challenges life threw at me. I was fully alive.

In a culture of death, I believe everyone deserves to experience the life-giving grace of God. As a missionary, I have the joy of living life to the fullest and sharing Christ’s victory over death with those who need it most.
