REGINA: We viewed a memorial of the coffin ships that carried 1 million people abroad during the potato famine, while another million Irish died from starvation in 1845-1853. What would have been your hopes and dreams?

AMANDA: I would have dreamed of a better life, finding a job that will put food on the table, a good education for the children, and religious freedom to practice the faith.

MARCO: Just like those Irish migrants, I would've had the same dream of starting a new life, and help do my part in spreading the Catholic Faith.
