Accordingly, we wish to invite all of the family members, friends and benefactors of our Province to send us the names of the deceased whom they wish the friars to remember in prayer throughout the month of November.

Augustinian Friars of North America
Celebrate Vocation Awareness Week
November 8-15, 2020
|
|
November 13th , the birthday of Saint Augustine and the Feast of All Saints of our Order, is also a Day of Prayer for Augustinian Vocations. The three North American Augustinian Provinces will observe Vocation Awareness Week from November 8th through the 15th. The Vocation Directors for the three Provinces will be promoting awareness in person, where possible, as well as virtually, particularly in the ministries where we serve. Please continue to check the Augustinian Vocations website (beafriar.org,) our Province website, and social media for more information.
Everyone can participate by remembering – “Pray. Share. Invite.” Individually and communally, we can pray for vocations, we each can share our own stories, as well as vocation-related materials, and we can invite others to consider where God may be calling them in their lives – this week and always.

Welcome to Augustinian Journey where we invite you to explore, learn and share experiences in the company of Saint Augustine. Augustine envisioned communities united in mind and heart, on fire with God’s love. Following his lead, we have established this virtual community to reflect on a spirituality that calls us together to know and love God, each other, and the world we share.

OCTOBER 24
SAINT ANTHONY MARY CLARET
“I see that when you praise love you shout out. But just as it pleases you when you praise love may it so please you that you preserve it in your heart. Love is praised by you; it pleases you. Well, have it, possess it! There is no need for you to consider buying it. It stands available at no cost. Take hold of it, embrace it. Nothing is sweeter than love. If it is delicious to talk about, what is it like when it is possessed?”
-Commentary on the Epistle of John, 7.10.2
