Yesterday we welcomed the 22nd class of AVs into our alumni family ❤️ We are very proud of this group & their commitment to living out the values of community, service, and spirituality. We can’t wait to see how your AV experience continues to impact your lives moving forward!

Featured Vol: Julia! Julia has enjoyed going to a Phillies game, praying consistently as a community, and has learned that while some things may be difficult, the beautiful outcome will always outweigh the hardships.

Featured Vol: Colin! This year, Colin has enjoyed learning how other people encounter God, finding out the talents and passions of his community members, and would describe his AV experience in one word: beneficial!

CAMPUS MINISTRY PLACEMENTS! Are you interested in cultivating faith-based conversations & activities? How about engaging students in service by organizing service opportunities? The AVs have campus min placements both at the high school and collegiate level!

Thanks to your generous support, we raised over $390,000 from over 975 donors on Tolle Lege Day! (And that's just what we've counted so far, there's more to come!) Our friars and ministries couldn't be more grateful, and they wanted to share this message of thanks with you.

Featured Vol: Brittany! The most surprising aspect of community living has been the opportunity to reflect on how another person's experiences differ from her own. Her favorite community activity has been trying water ice in South Philly (a true delicacy) & exploring Center City!
