We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
Welcome friends! My name is Jen and I am a second year missionary at THE Ohio State University!
God has called me to serve college students at The Ohio State University in Columbus, OH. Go Bucks! I can’t wait to get started. I am so blessed to have such amazing men and women on my team who I get to learn and growth with every day! Jesus has done some radical things in my life and I have a pretty swell story about how it all went down– I would love to chat and swap stories sometime 😉
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.
Growing up Catholic I learned about the faith from my family and Sunday religion classes, but it wasn’t until college that I really understood what I believed. I saw and desired a real relationship with Jesus, but was unsure how to get there. It was in friendship with the missionaries at Kansas State University, I witnessed the great love, joy and zeal a college student can have for Christ.
This encounter led me to share my discovery and prayer with my best friend Maggie who started asking questions about Catholicism. After 3 years of weekly adoration, meetings with our college priests and loads of books she entered the Church November 13, 2022. Praise God!
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. I’ve been blessed with the most amazing people who have journeyed with me as I serve on campus. 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.

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.
