ST. AUGUSTINE: OUR INSPIRATION
Imagine if St. Augustine had sat still.
Would our knowledge be as deep?
Would our relationships be as profound?
Would Villanova be Villanova?
We have become one of the most transformative and respected institutions in the world because Augustine has shown us that our spirit, drive and compassion must be ever restless.
His spirit flows through all of us.
And while our hearts may never be quiet, and our minds may never be still, our arms are always extended, reaching to become our highest selves. We are humbled at all we have accomplished to this point, yet we are always guided by Augustine's words:
"What does love look like? It has the hands to help others."
With the Espiritus Nova Campaign, with the spirit and purpose we share, our great journey forges forward.
