In the spring of 2011, I had everything planned out. I was heading to Italy for a six-week study abroad programme. My primary goal was to enjoy Europe, so I avoided classes related to my majors – accounting and finance – and opted for a travelling art history class that would take me to Rome, Florence, Venice and Arezzo. Joining me on this adventure was my roommate, John. One thing I had noticed about John was that, on Sundays, he always managed to attend Mass at the Catholic parish near campus, St Thomas More. I was raised a United Methodist, and my family attended services every Sunday, but I had not kept up with this habit in college. A few days after the semester ended, John and I took off for Europe. It was my very first time travelling outside America.
