St. Thomas of Villanova Lecture at Villanova University

Each fall, Villanova University begins the academic year with a celebration honoring its patron saint, St. Thomas of Villanova, the 16th-century Augustinian bishop of Valencia, Spain, known for his great charity to the poor and marginalized. This annual celebration kicks off with an academic symposium examining an important issue in today’s society through the lens of Catholic Social Teaching. Join the Villanova community at the 2012 St. Thomas of Villanova Lecture featuring Susan Dentzer, Editor-In-Chief of "Health Affairs," the nation’s leading journal of health policy, and an on-air health analyst with “The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer” on the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).
