Making Room for Big Questions

November 11, 2026

Cincinnati, OH

The following report comes to us from team leader Mark with our team in Cincinnati, OH:

On a sunny Halloween Eve, we visited the University of Cincinnati campus to share the Catholic faith. Their conversations with students brought some big questions to the table:

What is special about the Holy Mass?

Didn’t God the Father turn away from Jesus on the cross?

Isn’t all sin the same?

Each question opens the door to a meaningful conversation. They touch on how we worship, how we understand Christ’s suffering, and how our choices affect our relationship with God. For an evangelist, even one of these questions offers plenty to discuss!

These encounters also remind us why simply being present matters. A student doesn’t need to schedule an appointment or step inside a church to ask a question. An opportunity to talk about faith can begin right on campus, with someone willing to listen.

Our evangelists enjoyed the opportunity to discuss these questions and share their own faith stories. As the team put it, “We so much enjoy interacting with these young people and sharing our faith stories!”

Please pray for the students they encountered, that these conversations will encourage them to keep seeking answers and draw closer to Jesus Christ.
