Luis (Lui) Hernandez is a Mexican born immigrant who grew up in Los Angeles and is now residing in Atlanta. He is currently an outstanding Aspirante with much contributed to the Agrupacion up here in Atlanta. He joined the ACU after being introduced early in 2005. He was searching for a medium to actively learn about his faith and meet others that are at the same stages of life as him.

The first reaction one might have is that he is not Cuban or Puerto Rican. While many in the Agrupacion for all intensive purposes have become United States citizens relatively easily or were born here in the States and have been brought up in relatively stable economic households, Lui brings to the table a different perspective of the Latin/Hispanic Immigrant and many life experiences that many of us did not have to go through. Now with a wife and two kids, Lui has overcome many obstacles that a Mexican/American immigrant had to face, to be an inspiring success story.

He is a very successful programmer that not only works for one of the largest internet service providers but is also one of the webmasters of the EstoVir.org website. He has also been charged with leading an “Apostolado” where the Agrupados from Atlanta go help those in need a couple times a year. He also enjoys being a charlista at the weekly Adult Catechism classes taught in Spanish where many of the students are Mexican immigrantes parents. He is now able to share the knowledge of his Catholic faith and of the Catholic Church, which he has learned at the Agrupacion, with a point of view that many of us in Atlanta could not present.
