The Order of Saint Augustine

The Order of Saint Augustine is a Roman Catholic religious order founded in the late 13th century. Its members, known as Augustinians, follow the teachings of Saint Augustine of Hippo, focusing on communal living, prayer, and service. They emphasize education, spirituality, and helping the needy, often running schools and parishes. The order is known for its rich intellectual tradition and has contributed significantly to theology and philosophy. Augustinians live together in communities, striving for a life of humility, charity, and devotion to God, while also engaging actively in the world around them.
