Ace Acuña is originally from Las Vegas, Nevada, but moved from the desert to the Garden State of New Jersey to pursue his bachelor's degree in chemical and biological engineering at Princeton University. Since graduating in 2023, he has worked for the Aquinas Institute, Princeton's campus ministry. Working with the students, he loves sharing the joys of the Catholic faith in creative ways, whether that is through food, music, movies, or talking about the relationship between faith and science. In his spare time, he enjoys cooking with friends, singing karaoke, and creating board games. Given the opportunity, Ace will tell you that it was Jesus in the Eucharist who helped him rediscover the heart of the Christian life during college. He chose to be a Perpetual Pilgrim because he is excited to help others along the Drexel Route experience the same life-changing encounter with the Eucharist. He wants to witness to the world that—even in times when it is easy to lose hope—the Lord still has many friends, willing to accompany Him and light up the darkness with Him.
