Naomi Misquitta

In university, a friend of mine invited me to take a CCO faith study where I re-discovered that Jesus desires to have a relationship with each one of us now and forever. Thinking that I had to be “perfect” in order for God to love me, I kept Him at a distance until one day in Adoration. He met me where I was at and showed me that I needed Him to be my Saviour. My encounter with Jesus was accompanied by the realization that He loves us profoundly and is closer to us than we might think. It brings me great joy to live my life with Christ at the centre and invite others to know Him in a personal way.

My Mission

I currently serve as a Parish Specialist at CCO’s national headquarters in Ottawa, Ontario. In this role, I support parish leaders in building a culture of missionary discipleship using CCO’s materials and methods. Having previously witnessed the catalytic effect of intentional accompaniment on campus, I am excited to bring this evangelistic approach to new places in Canada and abroad with the Parish Team. St. Pope John Paul II foresaw the “dawn of a new missionary age” in the Church and I am so thankful to be a part of it!
