St. Thomas of Villanova Church is a very active congregation of young families. Every year for the past 10 years, congregants have traveled out of state to help rehabilitate homes for those in need. In years past, they would travel to Appalachia, but since Hurricane Katrina, they have made it their mission to help those in Biloxi, Mississippi regain decent housing. At home in Wilmington, the church offers Bible study and youth programs.
