My Story
Growing up, religion was a big part of my culture. I felt comfortable with my Catholic beliefs and going to Sunday mass, but I tried keeping my relationship with God as private as I could. After taking my first lesson of Discovery with CCO, I was challenged to consider Jesus as a person in my life. Around the same time, a friend of mine struggled to understand my convictions of the Catholic faith and I felt like a hypocrite talking to them about Jesus but being unable to invite them into a relationship with Him. Since then, I’ve opened up my heart to Jesus in its entirety, and allowed Him to lead every area of my life. Through fellowship I witnessed His love move me so intentionally, that I don’t want to miss any opportunity I get to invite others into a relationship with Him.
My Mission
Whether it was serving with CCO on campus, leading a faith study, going on mission, or helping out at my parish, Jesus has so patiently shown me ways to call me higher to serve His Kingdom. Jesus cleared the way for me and took away every barrier that was preventing me from giving my full yes. It hasn’t been more clear that it is as a missionary with CCO that Jesus is calling me right now to live out the gospel with my whole life. This is so that students at Dalhousie in Halifax may know Him personally and partake in sharing His goodness with others.
