Augustinians
Augustinians are members of various religious orders and communities that follow the teachings and rule of Saint Augustine of Hippo, a Christian theologian and philosopher from the 4th century. These groups emphasize community life, contemplation, and the pursuit of truth through faith and reason. They often engage in education, pastoral work, and social justice initiatives. Prominent Augustinian orders include the Order of Saint Augustine (OSA) and the Augustinian Recollects. Overall, Augustinians seek to live out Augustine’s principles of love, grace, and the importance of community in their spiritual lives and service to others.
