Blogcast: Journeying with Christ in College

Catholic Apostolate Center Resources

This blogcast explores “Journeying with Christ in College," written by Christian Bordak-Roseman and read by Patrick Hyland.

“​Journeying with Christ in College,” by Christian Bordak-Roseman. In his blog post, Christian describes how he grew in his faith and in relationship with Christ while he studied at university. He specifically recalls his experience of being accompanied by student ministers on campus. They are student who, while receiving a degree themselves, participate in ministry and help other students acclimate to university life and help students encounter Christ. Christian found more spiritual growth in spiritual direction and when he became a student minister himself. His time as a student minister during the COVID-19 pandemic was not without challenge, but he embraced the challenge and was still able to grow and help others to grow as well.
