Pilgrim Profile: Steve Roveto

Steve Roveto - WYD’ 11, Madrid
Hi, I am Steve Roveto and I never realized how important a Catholic education was to me until college. I had attended Catholic school from kindergarten until 12th grade and now attend a private interfaith college.
It is not the easiest to find people that share the same beliefs as you, which was quite simple up until high school. I didn't think I'd ever say it, but I actually miss it. The uniform, the people, everything about it, its all completely different at college. They offer services, but it is held in a classroom and it is just weird. When I heard about WYD in Spain I knew this would be a way for me to experience this again. That is why I want to make this pilgrimage to Spain, so that I can get in touch with other people around my age that have the same faith and beliefs that I hold.
