What Do We Have to Say?

39 Augustinians and supporters were recently interviewed to answer questions like:

"How did you first meet the Augustinians?"
"Which Augustinians impacted your life?"
"What is the role of the Augustinian Order today?"
"Are the Augustinians Still Relevant?"

All of these interviews are still available to read or listen to on our Continuing Our Journey of Faith capital campaign website. The campaign has a goal of $3.5 million to support the vocation, formation, and retirement needs of the Augustinians.

Below are six of these interviews. Visit any of the links below to hear an interview, read it, and learn more about the Augustinian's role in today's society.
