Elena Liguori '16 is currently serving as a missionary with FOCUS, the Fellowship of Catholic University Students, for the next few years. FOCUS missionaries serve on college campuses to bring Christ to students and “make disciples of all nations” especially in their formative college years through bible studies, mentorship, retreats, conferences, the sacraments, sports, social events, and intentional friendship.
Elena credits her 14 years at Aquinas and the formation and frequent access to the sacraments she received here as well as her time in the Newman Center at the Pittsburgh Oratory as huge positive forces in her pursuit of her faith today. Elena was blessed to have served at her alma mater and graduate university, Pitt, in the fall of 2021 while she completed her Master’s Degree in Medical Product Engineering. She was then placed full-time at the USMA West Point in spring 2022.
Elena was interviewed on Relevant Radio’s Morning Air® radio program. The program aired on May 17, 2022 and is titled, “Elena Ligouri, Adventure of Being a FOCUS Missionary ⁄ Bishop Brendan Cahill, Vocations to the Consecrated Life.” Listen on Relevant Radio.
