FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students) is a Catholic collegiate outreach whose mission is to share the hope and joy of the Gospel with university students. Trained in Church teaching, prayer, Scripture, evangelization and discipleship, FOCUS missionaries encounter students in friendship where they are, inviting them into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and accompanying them as they pursue lives of virtue and excellence. Through Bible studies, outreach events, mission trips and one-on-one discipleship, missionaries inspire and build up students in the faith, sending them out to spread the good news and live out the Great Commission: Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19).
The need is great: 80% of those who leave the Catholic Church do so before the age of 23. The Church needs to reclaim its young people.
