12 New Aspirants!

We are blessed with twelve new Aspirants. The Pase de Aspirantes or Aspirant promise ceremony took place not as customarily made during one special Mass but rather over the course of a few weeks at three separate Masses. To accommodate particular health concerns, one of the Masses was even held outdoors in the patio of the ACU House. At that Mass one of the Aspirants made his promise remotely over Zoom --a first for us. 

All of the new Aspirants have been paired with Congregant mentors. They are assigned generally based on an Aspirant's career path. An ACU mentor can play a part in career development and can also be a valuable resource to help transmit el sentir de la Agrupacíon or through oral tradition pass on our ACU culture to future Congregants.

The names of the twelve recent Aspirants and their mentors are as follows:
