The Catholic university in Florida mentioned in The New York Times is Ave Maria University. It is noted as the nation's first new Roman Catholic university in four decades and is located near Naples, Florida. The university was financed by Tom Monaghan, the founder of Domino's Pizza, and is part of a larger plan that includes the development of a Catholic college town called Ave Maria. The bar for the school has been set high, with plans to eventually attract up to 6,000 students, supported by figures such as Governor Jeb Bush.
