Hi! My name is Marion Cooper! I took my first mission trip which I was a college student at UC Santa Barbara and joined my fellow students on a trip to Mexico City. I immediately fell in love with doing mission trips and was so happy to join Catholic Mission Trips on a project in Belize as a volunteer in 2022 and in Fort Myers, FL as a Site Coordinator in 2023. I’m excited to be a Mission Leader to serve the people of Jenkins, KY and spread the word of God.
Favorite Saint: Saint Margaret of Scotland
Favorite Scripture Verse: “O God, you are my God—it is you I seek! For you my body yearns; for you my soul thirsts, In a land parched, lifeless, and without water. I look to you in the sanctuary to see your power and glory. For your love is better than life; my lips shall ever praise you! I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands, calling on your name. My soul shall be sated as with choice food, with joyous lips my mouth shall praise you! I think of you upon my bed, I
remember you through the watches of the night You indeed are my savior, and in the shadow of your wings I shout for joy. My soul clings fast to you; your right hand upholds me.” – Psalm 63
“Some people give to the missions by going. Others go to the missions by giving. Without both, there are no missions.”
