Biographical/Historical note

Villanova University traces its origins to old Saint Augustine's Church in Philadelphia, which the Augustinians founded in 1796, and to its parish school, Saint Augustine's Academy, established in 1811. Villanova University has been sponsored by the Augustinian Order since its founding in 1842. Reflecting traditions of Roman Catholic and Augustinian spirituality, Villanova's Campus Ministry engages in every aspect of University life through prayer, liturgy, community service, and pastoral care.
