Where We serve

“Act as if everything depended on you; trust as if everything depended on God.” -St. Ignatius of Loyola

We are all called by Our Lord to serve Him in all that we do and for us, this entails working to help FOCUS on the national level in Denver, CO and in Madison, WI.

Please watch this 3-minute video for a GREAT summary of why FOCUS is needed in today’s culture (you won’t regret it!)

Our Story

Our roles are missionary at heart as we help further the mission on a larger scale than just one campus. Brian leads the data analytics department (Quality, Growth, & Innovation) for FOCUS which uses statistical techniques to set strategic goals, measure the ongoing quality of campus programs, and identify best practices that lead to greater growth.

Kristin continues to use the skills she learned as a missionary on campus and as a Program Director for the North region while she raises our five young children (Giorgio, Bridget, James, Dominic, and Regina) at home. Through play dates, education interactions, and parish (St. Maria Goretti) involvement, there are plenty of opportunities for Kristin to stay a part of the mission of outreach.

Please pray for us as we continue to fundraise our salary for our growing family, and please consider joining our support team! This work would literally not be possible without our benefactors. And we truly believe that we’re leaving a lasting impact as we help deepen the faith of our country’s future leaders!

Your Impact

This mission would certainly not be possible without you. This is your opportunity to support the spreading of His eternal Kingdom here on earth. May the Lord reward you for your contributions!

*** If you feel called to give, please consider joining our monthly support team. The regularity of the gifts versus a one-time gift greatly assists in budgeting.

FOCUS is a 501(c)3 and all donations are tax-deductible and can be used towards your 10% tithe.

-You will receive a summary of your donations at the end of the year to be used when filling out your taxes. If you have any questions, prayer intentions, or thoughts about FOCUS, please contact: [email protected] or (262) 483-9151 or [email protected] (703) 795-1544
