We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
“I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly” – John 10:10
I am blessed to serve at the University of Southern Mississippi as a FOCUS missionary. I’m thoroughly excited to serve along with my team. Southern Miss to the top!!
I grew up going to church every Sunday and was very involved in Catholic faith, participating in CCD and CYO during high school. I then received a scholarship to attend Pearl River Community College and then Mississippi State University, where I continued practicing the Catholic faith. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I became more of a “box checking Catholic”, attending mass and confession but not fully participating. I eventually was motivated to get more involved with the Catholic community at Mississippi State University, St. Joseph, and the FOCUS group there. Through the FOCUS missionaries, I was presented the gospel in such a way that it radically changed my life. Now as a FOCUS missionary I am seeking to change the world by bringing the love and joy I experienced to all of the students I am honored to serve.

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.
