Augustinian Monastery

An Augustinian Monastery is a religious community where Augustinian monks or friars live, work, and pray together, following the teachings of St. Augustine. Founded in the 13th century, these monasteries focus on community life, spiritual development, education, and service. Members dedicate their lives to prayer, worship, and helping others, often running churches, schools, or charity organizations. The architecture typically features a church, cloisters, and living quarters, reflecting their contemplative and communal lifestyle rooted in Augustinian principles of humility, community, and a strong sense of faith.
