The History of the ACE Fellowship

The ACE Fellowship was founded in July 2004 to facilitate the continued engagement of ACE graduates and others towards sustaining the vision of a reviatlized and enriched Catholic school system.  At its heart, the ACE Fellowship is a lay apostolic movement committed to serving Catholic schools and supporting Catholic educators.  As such, members of the Fellowship are bound together through their service to Catholic education at both the national and regional levels.

Our Mission

The ACE Fellowship engages and inspires ACE graduates in their professional and personal growth as men and women of faith in lasting service to the mission of ACE and Catholic education.  The ACE Fellowship serves as a means to motivate and develop leadership among graduates and others who are eager to deepen their service to Catholic schools, whether or not they remain working full-time in Catholic education, through regional retreats, annual conferences, and grant opportunities.

The mission of the ACE Fellowship is carried out in the following areas:

  • Community Building and Service to Catholic education
  • Retreats and Spiritual Life
  • Vocational and Professional Development
