What does “Esto Vir” mean?
Esto vir is Latin for “Be a man.” Drawn from King David’s words to Solomon in 1 Kings 2:2, it calls us to grow into men of faith, courage, integrity, and responsibility—men who follow Christ and use their gifts to serve others.
Faith that shapes everyday life
Inspired by St. Ignatius of Loyola and the Agrupación Católica Universitaria (ACU), this group draws on Ignatian spirituality and devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Its purpose is to help men deepen their relationship with Christ, discern God’s will, and put their faith into action in their studies, careers, families, and communities.
Come meet other men, learn about the ACU, and discover how we can encourage one another to become faithful leaders who help bring others closer to God.
