Nicole Gomez, a Haciendo Caminos Fellow at the Loyola Institute for Ministry (LIM), recently appeared on the Accompany Podcast (season 1, episode 1) from the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM) along with LIM staffer Claire Gallagher. 

Claire is the Associate Project Director of Flourishing Sisterhood—an initiative supporting the spirituality of religious sisters in the Gulf South and funded by the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation.

In the episode, host Rhyan Ramirez spoke with Nicole and Claire about the Accompaniment Project at St. Clement of Rome Parish in New Orleans. Their conversation explored how the project helps foster faith, community, and leadership among young people. It also marked a time of transition at the parish: Claire is completing her time as youth ministry leader, and Nicole is stepping into that role—continuing the work of accompaniment and formation within the parish community.
