Catholic Gators Fundraiser
This past Friday, October 21st, the ACU hosted a fundraiser for the Catholic Gators. We were pleased to welcome Fr. David Ruchinski, Fernando Chang, and Joseph West. Fr. David has graciously opened the doors of St. Augustine Catholic Church in Gainesville, which is home to the Catholic Gators ministry at the University of Florida. With Fr. David's gracious welcome and trust, the ACU is collaborating with the Catholic Gators ministry to provide formation in Ignatian Spirituality for the men's group with plans to offer the Spiritual Exercises and mentorship. Fernando Chang is the development director for the Catholic Gators and Joseph West is the campus minister; both men are alumni of the University. Andres Manrara leads the effort on behalf of the ACU. On Friday night, Ignacio Abella took the lead to welcome the Catholic Gators to the larger ACU community in Miami and assist in raising funds for that ministry.
