MY WHY P

C

Why are you here?

I’ve been asked this ques on mul ple mes throughout my college experience. Professors like to ask this ques on rhetorically when explaining the importance of their class to my college curriculum, my friends ask me this when we run into each other unexpectedly, and it is a ques on that is constantly in the back of my head as I carry out my intern role as the Michigan Catholics president.

When I first arrived at St. Mary’s Student Parish my freshman year, I didn’t feel like I fit in. I met some great people, but it felt like everyone else was already so involved and knew each other so well that I couldn’t incorporate myself into their groups. My mentality prevented me from growing closer to the other students despite a ending Michigan Catholics events and becoming a La no Sacramental Prep catechist. It wasn’t un l the second semester that things changed.

I carpooled to the March for Life in Washington DC with a group of strangers. Yes, I had seen them around St. Mary’s, but I had never had a long conversa on with any of them. This all changed once we traveled eight hours in a car together, the ice was broken.

Upon returning to Ann Arbor, I felt more connected. I recognized people at Michigan Catholics events and they recognized me! This led me to mee ng new people and fostering new Catholic friendships throughout my second semester. During this me, a new Hispanic/La no student group (now known as Cristeros) was formed. Our weekly mee ngs fostered a beau ful small group community as we grew in faith together.

My freshman year experience is the first level of my “why” in regards to being involved with Michigan Catholics. I hope that through my involvement I can help connect people with each other so they can immediately feel at home within the St. Mary’s community. It is so much easier to maintain your faith and build a good rela onship with God when you are surrounded by Christ-like friends. I pray that as the Michigan Catholics community con nues to grow we can spread the light of Christ around campus.

My bigger “why” comes back to Jesus the Good Shepherd.

The parables were a big part of my faith forma on when I was younger, so I grew up learning that Jesus loves each and every one of us so much that he would leave the 99 sheep to find the one that is lost. He is a shepherd that knows us by name and would not hesitate in giving up his life to save ours. This is why I am here at St. Mary’s Student Parish, because everyone should know the love Jesus has for them.

WOMEN OF THE HEART All Women of the Parish are Warmly Invited This year’s Women of the Heart theme will reflect on the gi of WISDOM.
