An invitation to apply for the Echo Graduate Service Program at the University of Notre Dame

“Dear Sister Gina,

We are writing today to share a transformative service-learning opportunity for young adults from our McGrath colleagues in the Echo Graduate Service Program. Echo offers young adults (generally 20-30 years of age) the opportunity to serve the Church in parishes and schools across the US and Ireland (and live in intentional faith communities) while working on a MA Theology degree tuition-free through Notre Dame. We know many of you are familiar with the program, but wanted to share the news that they have extended their application deadline for their next cohort until January 26th.”
