In these challenging and yes, hard times, I hope the strength and unity of the global Villanova community is bringing you an added measure of comfort and support. Our shared bonds and commitment to one another will only strengthen who we are, and to paraphrase Augustine, “who we are yet to become.” Please know we are thinking about each of you and taking every step to ensure the safety of our community and the stability of our beloved institution.
We have made the difficult decision to cancel or postpone all campus events for the remainder of the semester, including Reunion.
As we explore potential alternatives for Reunion, the Office of Alumni Relations will be in touch directly with those who celebrate milestone reunions this year. We are committed to working with our reunion class volunteers to provide an avenue and timeframe to celebrate this signature event.
We are also cancelling all in-person Advancement and University-sponsored regional events for the rest of this semester. Please note that refunds will be issued as appropriate and in as timely a manner as possible. We thank you in advance for your patience.
With the uncertainties of this worldwide crisis, many of us are seeking ways to connect with each other, lift one another up, and maintain a sense of normalcy in our day to day routines. We are pleased to continue to offer Online Career Coaching and Career Strategies webinars for our alumni, and The Office of Alumni Relations will be providing additional virtual engagement opportunities through Facebook and the Nova Network.
The St. Thomas of Villanova Parish welcomes you to celebrate Mass via livestream from the Rosemont Chapel. Please see the schedule below for current Mass times, or visit the Parish website for the most up-to-date information.
Our hearts go out to the families who have lost loved ones, cared for those who are ill or have otherwise been affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
In partnership with the Office for Mission and Ministry, we welcome your prayer requests, which will be sent to Campus Ministry and remembered collectively at the praying of the Rosary on Thursdays at 3 p.m. so that you and your loved ones may share in the support of the Villanova community.
To learn about participating in this weekly prayer and for additional resources for praying during this time, please visit the Campus Ministry website. Prayer requests may be submitted online.
