After us both serving as FOCUS missionaries on college campuses from 2013-2015, God has called us back to FOCUS to serve as missionaries in a parish setting. We will be serving at Immaculate Conception Parish in Dardenne Prairie, Missouri, which is near St. Louis, Missouri.

After meeting during our time as FOCUS missionaries in 2013, we got married and started raising a family. After leaving FOCUS staff, we were excited to continue to live on mission.  Shortly after trying a few different evangelization efforts, we were surprised by the obstacles that came with evangelizing in a Parish setting with small children while having a full time job. After our family moved to Ohio, God called us to implement FOCUS’ model at our Parish while Adam worked as a Project Engineer and Maria stayed home with the kids. We have been inspired by the fruit we have seen through these efforts and are passionate about helping others to do the same.

Now, as our passion for this mission grows, God has placed a new call on our lives and we have discerned to rejoin FOCUS staff as Parish Missionaries. God has especially placed on our hearts the need in the Church to evangelize to families especially because we are parents of 5 young children. We are excited to take what we have learned and spend our time reaching as many families as possible for Christ and His Church.

“As the family goes, so goes the nation, and so goes the whole world in which we live.” – Saint Pope John Paul II
