Hey y’all! My name’s Catherine & I’m a FOCUS missionary.

Where I serve

After my time on campus, God has called me to continue to serve Him and His Church with the FOCUS national support center, as Program Director of the Formation Department.

The mission of the Formation Department is to help staff and students imitate Jesus Christ, live the fullness of the Catholic faith, and lead others to do the same. Our team believes “everything is formative” and with humility, confidence, and a sacrificial spirit, we work to build up those we serve by assessing and addressing their human, spiritual, intellectual, and apostolic formative needs.

My Story

How I got here:

When I first came to college, I had no idea what FOCUS was nor the ways in which God would radically change my life through FOCUS missionaries, bible study, and authentic discipleship. In my time as a student at the University of Florida, I was not only able to grow in fellowship with the students at Catholic Gators, but also in a deeper relationship with the Lord. It was in bible study that I learned how to read the living Word and hear/understand the voice of God. Through intentional discipleship, I was shown how to root out sin, fully be present in the sacraments, and give myself completely to the Lord. I was supported and poured into in a way I had never been before, allowing me to pour back out to those around me as a bible study leader and discipler.

God used FOCUS to change my life and I am overjoyed to continue this mission of bringing college students back to Him and His kingdom as a full-time missionary; Talk about full circle!

As a missionary, my greatest desire is to lead all students to Christ. My life has been transformed by Jesus and I want nothing more than to bring this joy to others and introduce them to the life-changing message of the Gospel.

Your Impact

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 I will schedule an appointment. I’d be honored to share this mission with you.
