“Only fear the lord, and serve him faithfully with all your heart; for consider what great things he has done for you.” 1 Samuel 12:24

My radical encounter with Jesus during Eucharistic Adoration on a mission trip in Lima, Peru transformed my heart and ignited a missionary fire that continues to illuminate every aspect of my life’s journey.

Serving as a Catholic missionary has been an immeasurable gift, allowing me to witness the universal Church and to participate intimately in Christ’s work of bringing souls to encounter His infinite love. The profound joy of accompanying others as they discover or deepen their relationship with Jesus brings a fulfillment that surpasses any worldly success or comfort I might have otherwise pursued.

Mary has walked beside me as mother and model, her gentle guidance and powerful intercession has transformed me.

I serve the athletes at Texas A&M. Walking alongside Aggie athletes in their spiritual journeys offers a unique opportunity to witness how the Catholic faith enriches their athletic pursuits, providing them with purpose beyond victories and a foundation that will sustain them forever.

“We know certainly that our God calls us to a holy life. We know that he gives us every grace, every abundant grace; and though we are so weak of ourselves, this grace is able to carry us through every obstacle and difficulty.” – Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton

Baptized in the Catholic Church as an infant, I was blessed with the foundation of faith from my earliest days. While Sunday Mass was a constant throughout my childhood, I felt a distinct attraction to mission work even as a young person, sensing God’s gentle call to serve others long before I understood its full meaning.

This early inclination found its fulfillment during a transformative mission trip to Peru, where Christ truly captured my heart in a profound and personal way. This pivotal experience inspired me to dedicate myself to a life of virtue and holiness, embracing my spiritual journey with renewed fervor and joy.

I’ve discovered that a life fully committed to Christ is, without question, the greatest adventure one could ever undertake. The Blessed Mother serves as my perfect guide to her Son. Her generosity overwhelms me daily as I witness her divine graces and experience the purity of her Immaculate Heart. I have completely entrusted both my life and mission to her maternal protection, with the rosary serving as the cornerstone of my prayer life.

I am continually humbled by the countless ways God moves within my heart. Despite my imperfections, He holds me close with unfailing love.

There is an indescribable joy and fulfillment in answering Christ’s call to mission. Each day brings new opportunities to share His light with others, to be His hands and feet in a world longing for authentic love. This missionary spirit—whether serving across the globe or in my own community—has become the heartbeat of my faith, transforming ordinary moments into sacred encounters where both others and I experience the living presence of Jesus.

I’m truly grateful for my mission partners whose faithful support and prayers is the foundation of this meaningful work we’re accomplished together. Your partnership transforms this calling into a shared journey of purpose, creating positive change that extend far beyond what any of us could achieve alone.

The stories and progress I’m privileged to share from mission are a testament to our collective impact, reminding us that every prayer and contribution directly connects to lives being transformed. I would be honored to welcome new mission partners into this rewarding endeavor—your sincere gifts and support would strengthen our mission and create new opportunities to make a difference in the communities we serve.
