Holtz to join Ave Maria advisory board

The Ave Maria Mutual Funds in Bloomfield Hills, Mich. is replacing a baseball legend with a football legend on its advisory board. Effective today, Lou Holtz, former head football coach at the University of Notre Dame, will replace Bowie Kuhn, the former commissioner of Major League Baseball, who died on March 15. “I’ll never fill the shoes of the great Bowie Kuhn, but I’ll do the best I can to help Tom Monaghan (chancellor of Ave Maria University) and the others with this important work,” said Mr. Holtz in a prepared statement. Mr. Holtz joins a group of other well-known Catholics who determine religious screens used by the managers of the five Ave Maria mutual funds. The Ave Maria funds represent the country’s largest Catholic-values fund family with more than $520 million under management.
