I came into the Catholic Worldview Fellowship feeling rather lost. I had just graduated, and (after attending a public university), felt ill-equipped to go out and be a witness to my faith in the “real world.” But the fellowship met me right where I was at, and was exactly what I needed. I had been weary about even applying because I wasn’t sure how I would pay for the experience, but in prayer I felt a nudge in my heart that this was an opportunity that God wanted me to have. And He provided abundantly, both monetarily and with the community I found at Schloss Wissen.
The fellowship has changed how I see God, and how I see myself. The fellows and the staff that walk alongside you are truly incredible. I’ve never felt so fully alive. The classes and outings are all amazing; I learned more in a few weeks than I’ve learned in whole semesters. And the free time and community time are packed full of fun activities! I don’t think there’s a better way you could spend your summer. Aside from equipping me to be a Catholic leader in our secular culture, my experience on the CWF has made me start to understand what Christ means when He says, “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly” (John 10:10).
