Arising from the McGrath Institute for Church Life, the Sullivan Undergraduate Saints Fellowship forms Notre Dame students as leaders in the study and spirituality of the saints. We launched this fellowship in 2025 with an inaugural cohort of 12 students selected from a pool of many, many applicants. As part of their fellowship, our saints fellows completed a course this past semester (with yours truly) on praying with the saints. Next year they will become leaders of other undergraduate students, as they form groups of students who pray together and serve together in a manner common to a saint each fellow selects. But in between the course they complete and the year of leadership they undertake, the whole cohort of 12 fellows, along with me and a chaplain, make a pilgrimage to immerse ourselves in the cultures that gave rise to particular saints––cultures which, in turn, these saints renewed and enriched. This year's pilgrimage was to France, specifically: Paris, Chartres, Lisieux, LeMans, Tours, and Lourdes. Today, two of our Sullivan Undergraduate Saints Fellows join me to talk about the meaning and significance of this pilgrimage with the saints. Macy Vance is a rising junior and Kate Apelian is a rising senior at Notre Dame, but really I should let them introduce themselves.Follow-up Resources:Learn more about the Sullivan Undergraduate Saints FellowshipCheck out the wildly popular “Saturdays with the Saints” lecture series“Pilgrimage and the Urgent Question of Faith,” by Leonard J.

Hey friends! In this episode of Catholic Moms in the Middle, I'm continuing the conversation about the Jubilee Year of Hope, and I've invited my friend Joan Watson to share! Joan is an author, speaker, and pilgrimage leader, and she's here to talk about her brand-new book, Opening the Holy Door. We're diving into the Holy Doors of Rome—what they are, why they're important, and how they symbolize a fresh start in our faith. Joan also shares the history of Jubilee years, what it means to go on a pilgrimage of hope, and how we can embrace God's grace, even when we're in a season of waiting. Plus, we talk about how trust and hope go hand in hand—and how patience (ugh, the hardest virtue!) often means suffering. Can't make it to Rome this year? No worries, Joan gives some great ideas for making a pilgrimage of hope right where you are. Click here to listen to my interview with Joan about the importance and power of going on a pilgrimage. She also shares details about her book and study guide, which can help you pray through this Jubilee Year in a really meaningful way. Order Joan's book here! Click here for the study guide Jennie Guinn is a Catholic speaker, Life Coach, Podcaster, Weekly Radio Show Host on Nashville Catholic Radio and Radio Maria USA, and the founder of Catholic Moms in the Middle. After 26 years of working in Catholic education, Jennie felt God calling her "to step out of the boat" to serve in a new way. In her new ministry, she equips and encourages middle-life women to encounter the love of the Father and to be transformed and healed by the power of the Holy Spirit so they can MAGNIFY Christ in their corner of the world.
