The ACU at Catholic Gators in Gainesville
Led by Andres Manrara, Gerry Portela, and Jay Velasco, the ACU kicked off its second year of support for the men's group of Catholic Gators at St. Augustine Catholic Church and Student Center of the University of Florida in Gainesville. Approximately 85 young men gathered last Thursday, August 25th to launch this academic year. The meeting was part of an entire week of activities hosted by the Cathoic Gators, known as Blast Off week, to invite all students into community and ministry at Catholic Gators. The men's group was also the first of eight monthly meetings planned by Gerry Portela on Ignatian Spirituality. In addition to ministry support, the ACU provided 200 T-shirts for the men and women of Catholic Gators. We are extremely grateful to Andres, Gerry, and Jay for their presence last week. Andres and Gerry are leading this effort at UF and have gathered a team of Agrupados to assist them. We are excited to provide support in formation, and in particular, the area of Ignatian Spirituality. As the Spirit continues to open doors for the fulfillment of our Mission, may the Lord also inspire us to carry through.
