Augustinian Recollects

The Augustinian Recollects are a Catholic religious order founded in Spain in the 16th century. They are a branch of the Augustinian family, focused on living the Gospel through community life, prayer, and active service. Their mission includes evangelization, education, and social work, especially in areas needing religious and humanitarian support. They emphasize a contemplative yet active spirituality, combining prayer and community life with outreach to those in need. Today, they operate churches, schools, and charitable programs worldwide, committed to fostering faith and social justice.
