To support the underserved communities in need, Barb and Brian Riley of Chester County have donated $6 million to the Augustinian Province of Saint Thomas of Villanova, writes Holly Herman for Patch. 

The donation will establish the Barb and Brian Riley Fund for Mission and Ministry that will support friars and their ministries. 

“We are all called to be a witness to God’s work and love, so we would like this gift to have the most impact possible and encourage others to do the same,” said Barb Riley. 

“We are grateful to the Augustinians, and we know that their Order and mission are focused on serving Jesus Christ and all of God’s children,” said Brian Riley. 

The gift will be spread over five years.
