We are a student organization associated with Antioch Church of Philadelphia. Our doors are wide open to people from all backgrounds.

Whether you are a spiritual seeker who's just beginning to ask questions about God or a committed Christian who wants to deepen your faith, Antioch is a welcoming community where you can find spiritual help, hope and encouragement.

We invite you to discover God's wonderful love and plan for life through our church!

Fiat is Villanova's Catholic women's community. We seek to live the joy of the Gospel through conversation, friendship and a ton of fun along the way.

Fiat is a space for prayer, virtuous friendship, Catholic formation and joy. We explore our identity in Christ, support each other on the journey of faith and strive for sainthood. We meet twice weekly to deepen our faith and our friendships with one another!

We are the Villanova Fellowship Group for a local Philadelphia church, Grace Covenant Church. GCC is a nondenominational Christian church that seeks to raise kingdom workers.

Our GCC fellowship group on campus meets every week for Bible study. We have various fun events during the year that allow us to have fellowship in Jesus!

The Knights of Columbus is a fraternal Catholic organization dedicated to the principles of charity, unity, fraternity and patriotism, upholding them through our programs, meetings and events centered around growing as men in the Catholic faith.

Our goal is to give men the opportunity to build up and strengthen the Church. We welcome all Catholic men who want to start living out their faith in a more concrete way. No matter where you are in your faith and relationship with Christ, the Knights are here to build you up into the man you are meant to be.

The Muslim Students Association seeks to serve the best interest of Muslim students, while educating and interacting with other faiths to promote religious diversity at Villanova.

The MSA offers Jummah (congregational) Prayer on Fridays, community Iftar meals during Ramadan, and numerous events for community building and learning throughout the year.

Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF) guides students along the path to Jesus Christ through His Church, cultivating a campus community of worship, witness, service, fellowship and education. The vision of OCF is to:

• Be the loving presence of Christ and the Orthodox Church on Villanova’s campus
• Be an integral part of students’ spiritual formation by challenging them to explore the faith
• Inspire students to commit to living an Orthodox Christian way of life daily

OCF gathers regularly for fellowship events, discussions with our spiritual advisor, and to attend church services at local Orthodox parishes. Additionally, OCF participates in campus ministry events, representing the Orthodox student voice at Villanova.

The mission of Villanova Hillel is to enhance the religious and cultural lives of Jewish students attending Villanova. We also hope to make non-Jewish students feel welcome in the club.

We strive to uphold our mission by celebrating Jewish holidays, hosting Chinese food dinners, and facilitating dialogue between Jewish and non-Jewish students on campus. It is our goal to make Jewish students feel comfortable on campus and to address as many of their needs as possible.

The purpose of Villanova Intervarsity is to start and grow a witnessing community of students and faculty who follow Jesus as Savior and Lord: growing in love for God, God's Word, God's people of every ethnicity and culture, and God's purposes in the world.
