Misa de Pase: March 6, 2024
Last Wednesday, March 6, 2024, we were blessed to officially welcome seven candidates into the formation program of the ACU as postulants and aspirants.
These seven men have been participating in formation meetings either at St. Augustine Catholic Church as part of the ACU Men's Honor Society or with the ACU Young Professionals Group.
The ACU Men's Honor Society, known as the UM student group, is led by Congregant Ramon Cacicedo, Jr. The group meets weekly on Sunday at St. Augustine Catholic Church in Coral Gables with the blessing of Fr. Richard Vigoa, also a Congregant, and pastor of the St. Augustine community. Congregants Sergio Rodriguez and Andres Manrara assist Ray in the administration of the group, and numerous agrupados also assist by providing the weekly formation presentations to the group. From the UM student group, the following three young men made the postulant promise:
Matthew Justin
Andrew Nader
Anthony Pardo-Pagan
The ACU Young Professionals Group, known as "Los Proximos", are led by Congregant, and national president, Dr. Manny Anton. He is also assisted by agrupados that serve as guest lecturers for the formation meetings. The group meets bi-monthly for a few hours to undergo formation and community. Meetings take place either at the Miami Chapter Campus or in one of the homes of the members. From the Young Professionals Group, one made the postulante promise,
Danilo Alonso,
and three men from the group made the aspirant promise:
Evan Bauta
Ricardo Cuevas
Will Woodford
Also accompanying all these men in their formation journey is Mariano Perez, the Instructor for the Miami Chapter, pictured with the group.
We were blessed to have Fr. Jorge Luis Rojas, S.J., preside over his first pase Mass as Director of the ACU. He is pictured with the group.
