"You have made us for Yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they find rest in You."
—St. Augustine of Hippo (Confessions, 1, 1.5)

Our 9th-10th grade catechism class just returned from pilgrimage in St. Augustine, Florida. Coincidentally, today, June 15th, is the feast day of this 4th century Church Father! As seen in the quote above, St. Augustine is known for producing words of beauty and truth for God's glory. He also used this gift to defend the Church from heresies. Learn more about St. Augustine here.
