Angel Rodriguez is a 2017 Graduate of Franciscan University of Steubenville with a bachelor's degree in Social Work. He grew up in Southern California constantly surrounding himself with nature, friends, and family. He first encountered the Culture Project on Facebook and in person through FOCUS. Throughout his life, he has witnessed the need for true authentic love and the profession of the dignity of the individual as an unrepeatable, incommunicable, infinite, and loved creation of God. For this reason, he aspires to help others, through the mission of the Culture Project, become aware of their potential to love and be loved through a complete self-sacrifice and other-oriented lifestyle centered in the virtue of chastity.
