Curtis Martin
Curtis Martin is the founder and CEO of the Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS), one of the fastest-growing college outreach apostolates in the Catholic Church. Archbishop Charles Chaput of Philadelphia stated, “No one does a more dynamic job of reaching college students for Christ than FOCUS.”
FOCUS was founded in 1998 as a national outreach to college students on campus. Starting with just two missionaries on one campus, FOCUS now has hundreds of full-time missionaries serving tens of thousands of college students on campuses throughout the United States. FOCUS is working to play a vital role in the New Evangelization called for by Pope Saint John Paul II.
Curtis Martin holds a master’s degree in theology and is the author of the best-selling book, “Made for More.” Curtis is likewise the co-author of “The Real Story: Understanding the Big Picture of the Bible” with Dr. Edward Sri and “Boys to Men: The Transforming Power of Virtue” with Dr. Tim Gray.
In 2004, Curtis and his wife, Michaelann, were awarded the Benemerenti Medal by Pope Saint John Paul II for their outstanding service to the Church. In 2011, Pope Benedict XVI appointed Curtis as a Consultor to the Pontifical Council of the New Evangelization. Curtis and Michaelann live in Westminster, Colorado. They have been blessed with nine children.

Father Figures
The role of fathers cannot be overstated.Research shows that fathers play a crucial role in their child’s education, health and happiness. The role of the father began to radically change with the social, economic and technical advances of the 20th century. With those changes came a basic change in the structure and function of the family. The role of the father has been diminished.
Be a part of the change. Break the cycle.
Stand in the breach.
Life and death impact:
• 63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (US Dept. Of Health/Census) – 5 times the average.
• 90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes – 32 times the average.
• 75% of all adolescent patients in chemical abuse centers come from fatherless homes – 10 times the average.
Education impact:
• 71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes – 9 times the average. (National Principals Association Report)
• Children with Fathers who are involved are 40% less likely to repeat a grade in school and are 70% less likely to drop out of school.
Impact on our daughters:
• Daughters of single parents without a Father involved are 53% more likely to marry as teenagers, 711% more likely to have children as teenagers, 164% more likely to have a pre-marital birth and 92% more likely to get divorced themselves.
• Adolescent girls raised in a 2 parent home with involved Fathers are significantly less likely to be sexually active than girls raised without involved Fathers.
This is why Marisol Health also supports men in their journey to grow into the fathers and men they’re meant to be!
