Good morning, I hope you are doing well! My name is Zoe Lynch, and I am a sophomore at Thomas More University in Northern Kentucky, pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in law and P.P.E. (Philosophy, Political Science, Economics). In February, I was accepted as a participant in the John Paul II International Fellowship to Krakow, Poland, with the JPII Project. This program is dedicated to deepening young people’s faith by immersing them in the life, culture, and legacy of St. John Paul II. I am due to leave for Poland on May 21 and return to the United States on June 29.

Through this fellowship, I will have the opportunity to travel throughout Poland and Northern Italy, participate in retreats, receive religious mentorship, and grow spiritually alongside a small group of young adults. I will learn about the psychology and personal philosophy of Saint John Paul the Great, discover the rich Catholic history that shaped one of the greatest modern saints, and visit significant places in his life, including Krakow, his hometown, and Auschwitz. We will also spend a weekend in Northern Italy focusing on Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati. This pilgrimage and formation experience is meant to strengthen my relationship with Christ and prepare me to serve others more fully when I return home.

Thanks to scholarships, a significant portion of the tuition has already been covered, but I am still responsible for raising funds to cover the remaining tuition and additional expenses. I am reaching out for your support—both spiritually and financially. First and foremost, I ask for your prayers that this journey will deepen my faith and help me grow into the person God is calling me to be. If you feel called to contribute financially, any donation would mean so much and help make this opportunity possible. I truly believe that this trip will not only impact me personally, but also allow me to bring the experience back to my community. Thank you for your time and consideration! God Bless.
