What attracted you to Echo and helped you decide to join the program?
I always knew and felt called to do a year of service after I graduated from college. Meanwhile, I fell in love with theology and relished studying everything from Scripture to Catholic Social Teaching. The more I discerned God's path for my future the more I felt torn between service and continuing my theological studies. Echo was the only program in the country where I could do both.
