Augustinian Canons

Augustinian Canons are religious monks dedicated to living a communal, disciplined life based on the teachings of St. Augustine. They are clergy who serve in churches, often running schools, hospitals, and other community services, while maintaining a balance of prayer, study, and work. Unlike monks who typically pursue a solitary life, Augustinian Canons live and work together in a community, emphasizing service and pastoral care. Their goal is to live according to Christian principles, aiming to better their spiritual lives and serve others through active ministry.
