Mary Screws

Hey! My name is Mary Wilson, and I am a first-year missionary!

“Do not be afraid of Christ! He takes nothing away and gives you everything.”

Pope Benedict XVI

Where I serve

God has called me to serve at Auburn University for my first year on mission with FOCUS!

My Story

There is one thing that I am sure of: Jesus Christ is endlessly pursuing you and me at every moment of every day. In my time as a student at Vanderbilt University, I encountered this truth in a new and radical way. Before, faith felt like an obligation in my life to be completed each week. I was truly shocked by students living freely and joyfully as Catholics on campus. Through both their friendship and the gift of the Eucharist, Jesus gently revealed Himself to me. His love is so much more than a set of rules. His love is personal. As a missionary, I want to bring this message to students on college campuses by loving them amidst the challenges of college and accompanying them in their walk towards our Heavenly Father.

This is my team at Auburn University for the 2023-24 school year! Please pray for us as we meet students from all walks of life and share the life-giving message of the Gospel.

Your Impact

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 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! You can email me at [email protected].
