U.S. Olympic gymnast Grace McCallum is bringing both her skills and her Catholic faith to the Tokyo games in July. The 18-year old McCallum does not travel anywhere without her rosary and a special Cross from her grandmother. “She travels with those things to kind of bring her peace and calm,” reports her mother, Sandy McCallum.
The young gymnast will be one of six women on the U.S. team in the Tokyo summer Olympic games. The McCallum family belongs to St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish in Isanti, MN. The women’s gymnastics events begin on July 25.
St. Sebastian, patron saint of athletes, pray for us.
