For the rest of July, I'll be in Brazil for Magis and World Youth Day, guiding students from Jesuit schools in Europe, South America, and the United States from Salvador de Bahía to Rio de Janeiro before meeting up with pilgrims from around the world. I'll do my best to condense and share some reflections on my experiences– social and cultural immersion, juggling at least three languages, living out of a hiking pack with only 25 pounds of gear, Mass with Pope Francis on a giant airfield– over the course of August; in the meantime, feel free to consult the sites below for more timely information from Brazil.
Please pray for us, and know that we'll be praying for you.

Safe travels, my friend! You and your fellow pilgrims are in my thoughts and prayers.
