Welcome Echo 21 Class

Welcome Echo 21 ClassWelcome Echo 21 Class

The McGrath Institute is excited to welcome 29 new students to further study, formation, and service to the Church through Echo and its partners in the M.A. Theology Program and partner dioceses. These 29 students emerged from an impressive applicant pool that represented 46 different undergraduate institutions and 4 foreign countries. 

Six members of the class of Echo 21 have been designated “Echo Holy Cross Fellows.” This fellowship was established in 2018 through the generosity of one of Echo’s benefactors and extends additional professional development opportunities to several incoming Echo students with particular interest and talent in an important or emerging area of ministry. We are grateful to our benefactors for establishing this fellowship and for their ongoing support of all Echo students.

Thank you to all Echo diocesan leaders for their hard work and persistent dedication to partner with Echo, and to the mentors, pastors, school presidents and principals who have graciously agreed to welcome and accompany Echo apprentices, campus ministers and theology teachers as they serve over the next two years.
