Interior of new
church
Built in the Victorian Gothic style, the church has been the center of
spiritual life on the Villanova campus for more than a century. It was designed by
architect Edwin F. Durang and constructed between 1883 and 1887. The most notable stained
glass window in the building is the resplendent representation of Saint Thomas of
Villanova set above the churchs front doorways. This and the other stained glass
windows in the building were donated by several Augustinian parishes in the Philadelphia
area and by two New York parishes, Saint Joseph in Greenwich and Immaculate Conception in
Hoosick Falls. |
