Fundraising for UNIV Conference

Hello! My name is Mariana, and I am a senior at MIT in mechanical engineering. I have the opportunity to go to Rome for Holy Week this year to attend the UNIV Conference, an international conference for college students looking to learn about and solve some of the biggest challenges in society. Participants will have the opportunity to listen to experts, join problem-solving forums, attend the Easter Triduum ceremonies, and participate in meetings with the Pope and the Prelate of Opus Dei. Opus Dei is an organization within the Catholic Church encouraging all Christians to strive for holiness in the middle of their ordinary circumstances and especially through the sanctification of their work.

I had the opportunity to attend UNIV my sophomore year of college, but it was unfortunately canceled due to the pandemic. Now that I am wrapping up my last year at MIT, it is most likely my last chance to attend UNIV. I would greatly appreciate your help in making this trip a reality! A donation of any size is super helpful, and please keep me and the others going to UNIV in your prayers. I will definitely be praying for you from the Vatican during Holy Week :) Also, feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
