Hello! I’m Owen Brine, a first year at Carleton studying Industrial Design. I love sketching, creating, playing piano, and spending time in nature. I live in Ottawa with my parents and 4 siblings, and I attend St. Mary’s Parish where I am involved in the youth group and music ministry.
This is my first year with CCO and it’s been amazing to be a part of a community of people who share my faith. I was raised Catholic, and my faith has always been a crucial part of my life. It is not always easy, but Jesus is continually bringing me back to Him, and I want to give Him my ‘yes’.
Why do I want to be on Mission?
The idea of mission really inspires me because I want to move forward in my relationship with God, to be comfortable and confident in sharing my faith with others. I know that mission will equip me with the tools to do this and push me out of my comfort zone. I’ve received so much, and mission is an opportunity for me to give back. It will be a totally new experience, a chance to meet people, and share my faith. Thank you for considering supporting my mission to World Youth Day this summer!
