2022 Llorente Foundation Scholarship Recipients
Last week, the Miami Chapter held Mass for the first time in the recently completed Our Lady of Belen Chapel. The Father Amando Llorente, S.J., Foundation, Inc. contributed $1 million to the construction of the Chapel through its grant program. It was also the first time that our Director, Fr. Saenz, served as main celebrant at the Chapel.
Following Mass, two Esto Vir graduating seniors were recognized as recipients of the 2022 Llorente Scholarship. Each senior was awarded $7,500.00 payable in four installments over the first year of college. The recipients were:
