Thomas Angelo

Hello! My name is Thomas Angelo. I’m a third year missionary from Maine. I serve at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. I will be joined with my amazing teammates to reach the students who are seeking a relationship with Christ. My teammates are as fallows Max Luckenbach as our team director, then Lily Paccassi our first year missionary, and then Emily Campbell a returning second year missionary to Lehigh.

Where I serve

I will be serving my third year as a FOCUS missionary at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. I’m excited to see how God is calling me to invest into the students at Lehigh. I can’t wait to see how this coming year will help me to grow closer to God and how He’ll change the lives of the students that we’ll be investing in.

My Story

I was born and raised in Maine. I grew up Protestant, and I didn’t really have a close connection with God. In high school, I more or less fell off and did not give myself fully to God. When I entered my freshman year at the University of Maine, I was seeking a closer relationship with God. I was invited to the Newman Center on campus and instantly fell in love with the Catholic faith, knowing that was where God was calling me to be. On the Easter vigil of 2021, I was fully accepted into the Catholic Church. As I progressed through my studies at UMaine, I grew more and more in my faith. I felt a call from God to go on a mission to help other college students find God.

Your Impact

Your decision to join me on this mission journey means the world. Your bravery doesn’t go unnoticed. As we embark on this adventure together, may the presence of the Blessed Mother guide and protect us. Your dedication will play a vital role in helping college students grasp the profound love the Father holds for them. Thank you for your willingness to serve alongside me as we reach out to the students at Lehigh University.
