Two Sisters, Two Paths Twin Sisters’ Journey from Campus Ministry to Faith-Filled Callings

I’m very grateful for my time in the Catholic Campus Ministry at Virginia Tech and the growth of my relationship with God during college. As a freshman, I decided to join a small group bible study. This was a new experience for me, and the group became an important place to share my heart and to be challenged to grow in my Catholic faith as I began to claim it more deeply as my own. There were many key moments in my journey of faith over the next four years — retreats, returning to confession after many years, going to Eucharistic adoration for the first time, alternative spring break and winter break trips, becoming a Servant Leader, and more. Through it all, the Lord opened my heart to receive him more and more. I’m grateful for the gift of sharing this experience with my sister, Eleni, and for the opportunity to grow in my relationship with God alongside her. One day, we both decided to stay at the Newman House for daily Mass, which was something we had never done before. That day became a new beginning, and we started attending Mass each day. Even though we now live far away from each other, I am continually amazed how the Lord unites us through the Eucharist. “It is such a gift to walk the way to heaven together!”
