Auckland Catholic Tertiary Students (ACTS) aims to create a community for Catholic students to grow, share and express their unique Catholic faith while at University.
Upcoming Events
JOHN SONIEGA
President
Hi Friends, I'm John and I'm currently studying a Masters in History at UoA. I joined the ACTS team in the hopes of building and enriching this catholic community for university students in both UoA and AUT. I hope to journey with them closer to their sainthood and to Our Lord.
NIKITA SIONETALI
Vice President
I’m Nikita and I’m studying a Law and Arts degree at UoA. I aspire to help those who cannot always do so for themselves. I joined the ACTS team so I can continue such work through a spiritual outlet!
PAULSE ANITHOTTAM
Treasurer
Hi! I'm Paulse and I am a fourth year Engineering student at the University of Auckland, majoring in Engineering Science. I come from a family of Eastern (Syro-Malabar) Catholics, and was born in Kerala, a southern state in India. I am a proud old-boy of St Peter's College, I was the Deputy Head Boy and Head of Catholic Character in 2018. I am passionate about youth ministry and I am excited to share the light of Christ through my role as Treasurer, and member of the executive team at ACTS this year.
ALDRICH RASCO
Secretary
Kia ora, I’m Aldrich. I work and study at the University of Auckland. In everyday life, I feel a strong calling from the Lord to help build and strengthen the community around me. ACTS allows me to share and execute my ideas to better serve the catholic students at university.
AMANDA DALGADO
Music Co-ordinator
Hello my brothers and sisters in Christ! My name is Amanda and I’ve just recently graduated from the University of Otago. I’ll be the Music Coordinator this year for ACTS! Service and giving back is something I’m so incredibly passionate about. Being able to do this through music is something which I am very excited about. I love to cook in my spare time, but love eating more (fried chicken is my weakness). Hoping to be able to meet as many of you this year as I possibly can at praise and worship nights and mass. May God be with you all as you journey through this year, and know that I am praying for each and every one of you!
ROBBIE DE LA VEGA

Hey everyone, my name is Robbie and I am a Lay Tertiary Chaplain for the Auckland Catholic Tertiary Chaplaincy and I am also the Events Coordinator for the ACTS club. I have been working as a lay chaplain since August 2021 and have been with the ACTS club since August 2020. Our current pandemic has definitely placed a lot of challenges in our ministry however, the Lord continues to be my rock and guiding hand. May the Lord continually guide and bless us as we do the work in his vineyard for the year ahead.
