the mission of focus

TO KNOW CHRIST JESUS AND FULFILL HIS GREAT COMMISSION

What the Missionaries Do:
​To Know, Love and Serve God 
We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.

To Build Virtuous Friendships
By building genuine friendships, we meet students on a deeper level.
​
To Teach Others to Share Christ 
We teach students how to share the gospel, who in turn teach other students how to pass it on.
