Brothers José Andrés González and Moisés Viloria, LC, recently participated in the annual course offered by the In Altum program in Washington, D.C., held at the Catholic University of America campus.
The course ran from May 27 to June 1, 2025. This marks the fourth consecutive year that students from the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum have participated in this program (https://inaltumprogram.org/).
Brother José Andrés Gonzalez, LC, highlighted that beyond the high-quality academic and formative content, one of the primary benefits of the course is “the building of communities and channels of communication and action among young Catholic leaders in various spheres of society.”
“My connection with young people really fills me with hope. I see their thirst for God and their eagerness to be evangelized. As a religious, my role is to provide spiritual and pastoral support within this experience of a community of apostles, all committed to serving the Church.”. B. José Andrés González, LC
