The Augustinian Order

The Augustinian Order is a Roman Catholic religious community founded in the 13th century, inspired by the teachings of St. Augustine of Hippo. Members, called Augustinians, dedicate their lives to prayer, community service, education, and pastoral work. They focus on living a balanced spiritual life, emphasizing love, humility, and service to others. The order has monasteries, schools, and churches worldwide, aiming to foster faith, learning, and charity. Their work blends contemplative prayer with active service, reflecting Augustine's emphasis on understanding faith through love and community engagement.
