Mr. Monaghan Gives 70 Year Projection of AMU’s Impact on Church and Society
The vision for AMU is taking shape in many ways, and your prayers and support have been critical to this process. People often ask me, why start a new university? I answer that a university founded on faithfulness to the Church is the best way I know how to help the Church and society. Over the last couple months, I have put some numbers to my projections to show what kind of “ripple effect” I believe AMU can have! More
AVE MARIA UNIVERSITY DEDICATORY FOUNDERS WALL INSTALLED
Ave Maria University remembers its "Founders" otherwise known as "Alumni in Faith" and those who give $120 or more in support of the University – look up and see your name on the beautiful Founders Wall (if you are already a Founder). If you're not a Founder, please consider becoming one! We’d love to have you “on the wall!” More
Fort Myers Founders September Dinner
Richard May, national speaker and host of a weekly live radio program on Radio Maria, gave an interesting and informative talk on Formed Consciences for Informed Voting, a very pertinent topic given the times we live in.
We would like to share some of the pictures taken at the event.

Be Who You are Called to Be |
Fr. John A. Gallagher, AMU Conferences and Development, was born in Northern Ireland, and ordained a priest in 1992 after graduating from St. Patrick’s National Seminary in Maynooth, Ireland. Since then he has worked in parish ministry in the Derry Diocese in Northern Ireland, and also in the Diocese of Palm Beach. As an international evangelizer, Fr. Gallagher has inspired and continues to inspire the faithful on both sides of the Atlantic. Come and discover the plan God has for you and that you were born for such a time as this, because God is raising up new saints for such a time as this, and this is your hour.
