Marie Putbrese

Hey! My name’s Marie. I’m a FOCUS missionary serving FOCUS Alumni!

Where I serve

After seven years serving on campus—one at the University of Memphis and six at Lindenwood University—I recognized a pressing need for greater investment in our alumni. By God’s grace, many students encounter Christ and grow in faith through their Newman Centers and FOCUS during college. Yet after graduation, or after completing missionary work, it can often be challenging for them to find their place in a parish community. Our mission is to walk with alumni through these life transitions, helping them carry the skills and zeal they gained in FOCUS into their parishes, families, and workplaces.

My Story

Jesus has changed my life time and time again. I am so grateful for what He has done for me, and the part that I have played in accompanying others in their faith journeys. All of this is due to the support of my mission partners. Your gifts have changed so many lives – including my own!

Your Impact

I wouldn’t be able to respond to my call without my team of mission partners. Through the love and support of my mission partners I have been given the courage to continue this mission.  I’ve also relied on their financial support.  If you are interested in partnering with me, please let me know of the best way to reach you and I will contact you. I’d be honored to have you on mission with me.
