Please help us support our Augustinian Province of Saint Thomas of Villanova today on Tolle Lege Day!

On this day, we are invited to come together with one mind and one heart to support the Augustinians and to celebrate our Augustinian values and spirituality upon which our University was founded.

Donations support the care of the elderly and infirm friars living in the monastery on our campus, which is owned and operated by the friars. Tolle Lege Day also supports the education and training of future friars so that Villanova will always have a strong presence of Augustinians on campus.
