Have you ever wondered how to preserve Catholicism for future generations?

May I suggest a gift to Ave Maria University in Florida? The dream is now a reality, but help is still needed.


May Mary, Seat of Wisdom, be a sure haven for all who devote their lives to the search for wisdom. May their journey into wisdom, sure and final goal of all true knowing, be freed of every hindrance by the intercession of one who, in giving birth to the truth and treasuring it in her heart, has shared it forever with the world.

John Paul II
