Did You Know...
"86% of those being ordained in the U.S. reported being inspired to consider or answer the call by someone in their life - usually a priest, brother or sister, or a family member or friend."
Two couples from Saint Thomas of Villanova Parish, Villanova Pa, were affiliated to the Augustinian Order on November 3rd. They are Ellen and Anthony DeCarlo and Anne and Dennis Murphy.
Both couples are long-time parishioners who have been closely allied with the Augustinians not only in the parish but also in the Augustinian Missions, Augustinian Defenders of the Rights of the Poor (ADROP), Saint Rita Shrine and fund-raising projects for the Province.
