Hello! My name is Marcelli and I’m a FOCUS Missionary!
“We are to become vessels of God’s compassionate love for others.” -St. Clare of Assisi
The Lord has called me to serve at the University of Illinois Chicago – GO FLAMES! 🔥
The Lord has pursued my heart immensely, and it is a joy getting to go on mission! You can typically find me at a local coffee shop, out and about on campus, or at the Newman Center. I would love to share with you my story, so come find me and I’d love to chat with you! 😊
Meet my team! 🔥

I knew how important it was to have faith, but I didn’t know how important it was to have a relationship with Jesus. Though I grew up Catholic, I did not understand the truth, beauty, and goodness of the Catholic faith until my junior year of college at Northern Illinois University. I was then encountered by a FOCUS missionary who walked with me so intentionally that I started to find myself falling more in love with the persons of the Trinity.
I chose to become a FOCUS missionary because my heart was aching for those who didn’t know the fullness of Christ and the abundant life He promises. Jesus has completely transformed my life into a love so deep that I can’t help but fall more in love with Him, and I desire to share that with those who have yet to discover that same deep love of Christ that He has for them.
Myself and Jordan (who invested in me) during her first year of mission at Northern Illinois University.
When I said YES to joining FOCUS, I made the radical decision to fully rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners and the Father’s trust to help me through this mission.
If you are interested in being on mission with me, please let me know the best way to reach you and we can schedule an appointment to talk more. I would love to share more about it and my role and would be incredibly honored to share in this mission with you!
