“I feel very close to Jesus, a closeness I didn’t feel when I entered college,” begins Caryn Dannah, a junior at Hope College who is involved in Saint Benedict Institute and the Hope Catholics student group.
Caryn and fellow classmate Jacob Kelley, a senior at Hope College, were recently featured in Faith Grand Rapids, the official magazine of the Diocese of Grand Rapids. In their interviews, each mentioned how important it was having a strong Catholic community to support them in their faith journeys.
“I had never truly had a Catholic community of peers, and I didn’t realize how desperately I wanted and needed such a community until I finally found one. The people in this community have deepened my faith in ways I could never have imagined…” Jacob said.
