Life with Christ is a wonderful adventure. – St. JPII
My adventure started young, as I have been Catholic my whole life. The story really gets good, however, in my teens when I started to take my faith in God a little more personally. I first truly encountered Jesus at a Catholic youth conference when I was 16, through Adoration and the sacrament of reconciliation. I experienced God’s love and mercy in a way that changed my life, and the adventure has only gotten more exciting with each passing milestone.
When I went to university I had no idea how I was going to continue living out my faith in a big, new city where I had no home church, and no community. I met CCO at Ryerson University in Toronto and this became my faith family. Through CCO I grew in my relationship with Jesus and heard the personal call to “go and make disciples of all nations” (Mt 28:19). My adventure with Christ then took me to full-time ministry.
I started out my career with CCO with 2 years of ministry in Montréal at Concordia University. In the pandemic year, I had the blessings of an online homecoming with the return to my alma mater, Ryerson, to continue the mission. The next milestone in the journey is an exciting one as I take on the role of Team Leader at Ryerson this year. As a student, my heart longed for my classmates and peers to experience the love of God. I feel incredibly blessed to now be in a position to oversee and grow the mission of inviting people to encounter Jesus at Ryerson. I am eager to see what great things God will do this year as the adventure continues. Thank you for your support and prayers for our ministry!
ONGOING PRAYER REQUESTS
For the missionary team and students at Ryerson that the Lord would move in our lives, for the conversion of my family, and all those who do not know Jesus well enough.
