ST. THOMAS OF VILLANOVA DAY OF SERVICE
DAY OF SERVICE
SEPTEMBER 19, 2026
Each fall, the Villanova community comes together for the St. Thomas of Villanova Day of Service to work in partnership with neighborhood agencies to perform service throughout Greater Philadelphia. This annual event builds upon the great service performed during the year by the Villanova community and exists as a unique way to put its Augustinian ideals into action
Named in honor of St. Thomas of Villanova, the 16th-century saint was known for his great charity to the poor and marginalized. This annual event provides the Villanova community with the opportunity to reflect upon the University’s heritage and breathe life into its mission.
The St. Thomas of Villanova Day of Service is open to all faculty, staff, students, alumni, friends, and families. The day has been planned to reflect the spirit of community that distinguishes Villanova.
