Q: What will be the focus of your blog?

A: “I certainly want to focus on whatever interests the girls, the readers. I will include tips on spirituality and prayer, the lives of the saints and how they can influence us. I might also include pop culture or any controversial topics that might be in the news and how to address some of those issues.”

Q: Have you ever written a blog before? If so, for what?

A: “I have. I wrote a blog for a year when I was studying in Rome. It was a good way to keep family and friends in touch with the different things I was doing.”

Q: What are you most looking forward to about World Youth Day?

A: “I’m looking forward to being in a crowd that big, as scary as it might seem! We will encounter young people from all over the world. It will be a powerful experience to pray all together.”

Q: How will this blog help spread the Gospel message to the Xavier Community?

A: “Hopefully it can show the different aspects of the faith. I like comparing the faith to a symphony; there are so many aspects and so many beautiful parts.
