Franciscan University Students Visiting Holy Land Experience Hamas' Attack | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Since 1991, more than 8,000 students from Franciscan University of Steubenville have participated in the school's study abroad program in Austria. But for 38 of them, a recent visit to Israel became a life altering ordeal. On October 6th, those students and the trip's chaperone, Sr. Lisa Shatynski travelled to the Holy Land to walk in the footsteps of Christ on a pilgrimage organized by the Community of Beatitudes. Shortly after, they found themselves in the midst of the October 7th attacks. Franciscan student Maggie Kleb and program director, Thomas Wolter, join to tell us more about these harrowing events and safe passage out of Israel. Kleb shares more about the trip and what went through her mind when she heard about the attacks. Wolter talks about what the staff did to make sure their students got out of Israel safely and back to Austria. He explains whether there were ever any doubts about being able to evacuate all 38 students. Kleb discusses her thoughts on the experience. They fill us in their final thoughts. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
