Hello Church of the Blessed Sacrament friends, My name is Chandler Talbott and I am the Echo Apprentice from the University of Notre Dame Echo program! I am extremely excited to grow in faith alongside all of you! I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts this past spring from the Franciscan University of Steubenville where I double majored in theology and catechetics. I wrote my senior thesis on the importance of family and marriage in society and catechizing divorced families. I’ve been in Catholic schools my whole life and graduated from Newark Catholic High School in Newark, Ohio. A little about me… My hobbies are reading (especially historical fiction), anything outdoors (e.g., hiking, camping, swimming, etc.), playing guitar, singing, traveling, and checking out new coffee shops. My favorite saint is Saint Francis of Assisi. My favorite Scripture verse is “Behold, I make all things new.” -Revelation 21:5. My top five strengths are spirituality, humility, appreciation of beauty and excellence, and gratitude.
