NAPLES – On the last day of fall classes at Ave Maria University, Chris Ortega, a 20-year-old freshman from Los Angeles considering the priesthood, sat in the shade explaining why he moved across country to be one of the 109 students enrolled in a school that did not exist this time last year. ”From what I’d been hearing from other people, other Catholic schools were just not that Catholic,” Ortega said. `I wanted to come to a school that was really firm in the faith.” Firm, indeed.
