2 Corinthians 5:7

My Story

Growing up, I was raised in a strong Catholic home with a solid background in my faith through Catholic school my entire schooling career. I was truly blessed to have such an incredible background with my faith. My parents made that foundation possible by their hard work and love for me and my siblings. I graduated from J.K. Mullen High School in Denver Colorado in 2022, and later attended Adams State University where I was on my own for the first time in my life. During that time, I fell away from the faith and from God almost as a whole. After stepping away from studies after a short time in college, I decided to come back home in 2023. From there, I found my faith again slowly after being introduced to St Elizabeth’s Parish in Denver Colorado, which is where I was introduced to FOCUS missionaries.

At my time in the community at St Elizabeth’s, I had spent time discerning joining seminary. From there I got in touch with my vocations director at St John Vianney, and was able to take a year of discernment and formation at St Elizabeth’s; living with the missionaries that also lived there over the 2025-2026 school year. Having this amazing opportunity to live in the house with the missionaries, I discerned out of the call to seminary, and found through prayer, the Our Lord was inviting me to be a missionary, and I responded to the call, applying for a position with FOCUS. The Lord trusted me with that position after my response, granting me and blessing me with joining FOCUS. Now as a missionary myself, I desire nothing more than to share the good news and testify that Lord Jesus is King, and to invite others to share in the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic mission that He left us over two thousand years ago.
