A Walking Pilgrimage and Mother Seton Reinforced His Desire to Convert

He was just driving to work — then a nudge from above led him to Mass, tears…and a life-changing decision

(50 for 50 series)  Matthew Pollack participated in the Footsteps of Mother Seton pilgrimage (Pilgrimage 2025 – Seton Shrine) in June, a 55- mile trek from Baltimore to Emmitsburg.

At St. John’s Church in Westminster, one of the stops along the way, he shared his story of a spark of faith that led to his desire to convert to Catholicism, inspired by Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton.
