-St. Francis of Assisi

Where I serve

Until my studies in Spanish and Catholic Studies are completed, I will serve part-time here at Arizona State University (Forks Up!).

I have the unique role and pleasure of serving my peers and helping to spread the Gospel among the largest study body population in the United States!

Over the past year, I have had the honor of walking with other men my age in the faith and navigating college life with them. I have also had the pleasure of leading the Latino men in encountering the word of God weekly.

My Story

Coming into Freshman year at ASU, pre-existing faith had its kindle, but the fire was still to be lit aflame.

Through a simple invitation by a FOCUS missionary to go deeper, Jesus has answered my deep desire to know Him intimately.

Now, intimate prayer and the sacraments are food for the journey of leading others to the same transformation that Jesus has done and continues to do!

Your Impact

Thank You so much!

This mission is two-way!

Any impact that God may use me for, is made by you too! Through your generous gift, you are personally investing in each and every student that I have the honor of meeting and walking with!

Know that you are prayed for as you walk alongside me!
