Faith at Home: Prayerfully navigating college life

Rose O’Connor suggests that students transitioning from high school to college can maintain their faith by leaning on the values received from their families and parish communities.

Writing for The Monitor, O’Connor notes that the first few months of college can be difficult as students lose the immediate support of home and local Church communities. She observes that young people often face the temptation to believe they can manage life independently, which can lead them to prioritize other things over their relationship with Jesus.

O’Connor encourages students to remember that the Church remains a constant community of faith regardless of their location.
