Thank You!

Chelsi Blakeman, daughter of

one of our volunteers for our

Food Pantry, Carla Kaltwasse,

recently decorated our Food Pan-

try trailer free of charge. We

would like to offer her a huge

thanks and appreciation for her

kind work of charity. Many

thanks to Ruben Lucio for donat-

ing the trailer to the church back

in 2017!

The Fellowship of Catholic University Students is a Catholic collegiate outreach whose mission is

to share the hope and joy of the gospel with college and university students, inspiring and equip-

ping them for a lifetime of Christ-centered evangelization, discipleship and friendships in which

they lead others to do the same.

Without spiritual and financial support from mission partners, we are not able to share Christ with

college students who so desperately need to understand what true love is. This is where you come

in! As a missionary, we fully fundraise our entire mission budget and need the support of gener-

ous partners like you to perform our work. If you are interested in joining any of us on mission

through your financial support or even just hearing about what we do on the college campus, we

would love to meet up with you in person or chat on the phone with you. Please don't hesitate to

reach out to us via phone or email and we can get to know each other! God Bless you!

We will be highlighting three (3) members of FOCUS from our very own community in the

upcoming weeks. Please keep these individuals in your prayers as they continue with their mis-

sionary work with our youth in institutions of higher learning here in our United States.
