Essential Information

Villanova, PA

When Villanova resident and Augustinian priest Father John Deegan set out to help the poor and powerless in our society, he did so in a way that is not only efficient but also effective. By bridging already existing resources with those in society who’ve fallen between the cracks, he’s set up an impressive model for systemic societal betterment dubbed Augustinian Defenders of the Rights of the Poor. From health and law clinics to after-school tutoring and a companionship program for the elderly—wherever Father Deegan sees a need, he quickly addresses it. Thanks to him, we all benefit.
