As pilgrims continue to flock to Rome, over 40 participants also traveled to Rome to participate in the EWTN Vatican Summer Academy, to learn from the talented teams in the EWTN Vatican Bureau about Catholic journalism and the future of reporting on the Church and the life of the Pope.

From security during the Jubilee to the message of hope that has spanned from Pope Francis and continues in the pontificate of Pope Leo, these are the stories reported by the EWTN Summer Academy Participants:

• Two Popes – One Hope
• A Jubilee Contrast – Christian Persecution in the World
• All Roads Lead to Rome this Jubilee
• Safety & Security at the Vatican for the Jubilee Year
• Diversity among Jubilee Pilgrims & Their Vocation
• The Jubilee Young Saints Walk in Rome
• Daniel Ibañez – The Vatican Photographer at the Jubilee
• Friendship with Frassati

And, now, after two weeks with the EWTN Vatican Summer Academy. in Rome, the young participants return to their countries with new friendships and experiences in the field of Catholic journalism.
