Hi! My name is Thierry Chu, and I am a senior at UT Austin majoring Plan II/English and minoring in Spanish/Religious Studies. If you didn't know, I am a Catholic nerd, especially when it comes to ecumenism. One of my life dreams is to make it to the Vatican and talk to church leadership about what is going on in the American church in regard to ecumenism. You can imagine my surprise when:

1) The Church announced a Jubilee of Synodal Teams for October...

2) They opened participation to the individual faithful...

3) So many people rallied in prayer around my application...

4) And I was invited to participate!!

God is so faithful, but as a college student, I was not planning on making an impromptu trip out to Rome this year. I am seeking donations of any size to help me get to Rome. If GoFundMe isn't your jam, my Zelle is 7138987178 and Venmo is @thierrychu. If you cannot donate, your prayers are even more valuable -- that's how I got here in the first place!
