On this day, the birthday of Saint Augustine (354), Augustinians celebrate not only those members of the Order who have been formally recognized by the Church as Saint or Blessed, but all those Friars and Sisters who, throughout the ages, have been made holy by the blood of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit.
In this celebration we give thanks and praise to God for the many gifts of holiness so richly found in the Order of Saint Augustine.
Let us also acknowledge all our Augustinian Missionary Sisters from the beginning of our congregation till now and those of us yet to come may renew our commitment to walk in the footsteps of so many brothers and sisters who followed so closely the Way of the Gospel according to the ideals of religious community life taught by Augustine.
