Augustinian Friends is an association for people in Australia who seek participation in spirituality and in particular Augustinian spirituality with a desire to formalise their connection with the Augustinian world family.
In our busy world many people feel disconnected from their community and from each other. Saint Augustine of Hippo promoted personal and communal spirituality.
He asks us to be attentive to our hearts where God dwells and to our community; by being of service to each other so as to contribute to the creation of a better society.
The spiritual tradition of Augustine has been a great medicine for people since the fourth century and we believe it is still relevant to the needs of today.
It is because of his spirituality and in response to our modern needs that Augustinian Friends was formed.
