FOCUS – Weekly Campus Story
Sep 17th, 2008 by jberard
Students have been on campus for almost a month now and FOCUS wants to share with you stories from all of its campuses. The FOCUS missionaries and student leaders have been able to do great work towards building a Catholic culture on campus. We have been a part of all the activity fairs, Catholic Rush Week, and other Outreach events. Each week a new story will be posted letting you know how God is working in students lives!
This week’s story comes from Luke who was able to meet with a student from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). He is a leader for the CMU Orientation team. The orientation team puts on different talks to help freshmen assimilate into college life. One of the talks is about “safe sex” and decision-making. It is a highly promoted talk and really degrades the meaning of sex and how men and women view each other. Luke was able to talk with him that day and a few weeks later was able to have lunch with him. He was open to talking about the Church, his search for the Truth, and is even interested in learning more about Church teachings! It is great to see students who want to live Christ-centered lives and see the Holy Spirit working in them even when they don’t realize it themselves!
