a message From the Provincial

The Augustinian Order comprises both lay and religious, male and female, but our common bond is community and a relationship with Jesus Christ. Here in Ireland, the Augustinians can be found in many different cities and towns, in schools and parishes, as either lay or religious. However, the Irish Augustinians have frequently ventured overseas on the missions to such places as Ecuador, Kenya and Nigeria. While tending to the people’s pastoral needs, our friars have also taken the need for building community literally, building the physical infrastructure that communities so desperately need. Such projects have included the construction of churches, schools and hospitals. In essence, to be an Augustinian is to live a spiritual life in action. Furthermore, our commitment to safeguarding, and compliance with current legislation, is a requirement that features prominently on our site.
