Ethan Lott, a first-year Old Collegian studying at the University of Notre Dame, spent his spring break in Rome with two other seminarians and 13 other young men discerning vocatiions to the priesthood in Holy Cross.
Their pilgrimage happened to coincide with the Papal Conclave and the election of Pope Francis as the head of the Catholic Church.
Ethan reflected on his experiences in a blog written for the Holy Cross Office of Vocations.
