BECOME A SUPPORTER OF MISSIONARY MARIA GRYGLESKI
We like to introduce our readers to people making a difference. Maria Grygleski of my home parish, St. Joan of Arc, is someone who is walking the walk. Maria is a graduate of Naperville North High School. After graduating, Maria played collegiate soccer at Northwestern, and since graduation, she has spent the last two years working with Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS) as a missionary. Maria spent her first FOCUS year at University of Nebraska, Lincoln. This year, she is moving to the University of Minnesota, Duluth. Since Maria was a collegiate athlete, she works specifically with the athletes on campus, helping them integrate faith and sport. Here are Maria’s own words on her efforts: “Each of us lives our lives searching for meaning and love in all that we do. I can attest to this in my own life, whether it be through family, friends, academics, athletics, or hobbies. All my life, I grew up Catholic, but giving God one hour a week at Sunday Mass
was what I thought it meant to live in relationship with Him.
“As a FOCUS missionary, I personally fundraise my entire salary. It has been a beautiful opportunity to trust in God and invite others to invest in the mission work I am doing. I would love to invite you to become a part of it, as well. Monthly donations are most helpful, as they offer financial stability throughout the year, but one-time donations are also much appreciated. If you feel called to become a financial supporter and/or want to learn more about this ministry, I would love to get to know you! Please reach out to me through a call or an email. God bless you!” As you well know, I am not too proud to ask my friends to support great causes and people. I would like to help Maria in her mission here, and I hope you will too.
