The Augustinian MagazineTHE AUGUSTINIANS are a religious Order in the Catholic Church whose special call it is to live together in communities of love, humility, friendship and sharing, a focus they share with the ministries they serve.
Inspired by the teaching and spirituality of St. Augustine of Hippo they came to Australia from Ireland in 1838, and have served here in every form of Pastoral Ministry since then.
Currently they have the care of five Parishes along the East Coast of Australia, as well as two Secondary Colleges and a Spirituality Centre. They came to the Parish of South Yarra in 1976 where they have become the inspiration of its Social Outreach to the poor, the homeless and the disadvantaged.
