We Are Augustinian!

St. Augustine said, “You made us for Yourself, O Lord, and our hearts find no peace until they rest in You” (Confessions, I, 1, i).

St. Augustine believed that we are companions on a journey which leads to the discovery of self, an appreciation of friendship, and ultimately, a relationship with God. We do not have to seek God outside of ourselves; God is closer to us than we are to ourselves (City of God IX,7).

A dedicated and caring faculty and staff integrate the core Augustinian values of truth, unity and love into all dimensions of student life.

We are steeped in prayer!
A Mass is offered in the chapel prior to the beginning of class each morning. Our school community prays together every day during the all-school prayer. Each class period also begins with teacher- or student-led prayer, and our day ends in prayer. All-school liturgical celebrations occur at least once a month and include Masses, penance services and retreats.

Academically, students are required to take four years of Theology. It is also a graduation requirement that every student must participate in an annual, school-sponsored retreat. Seniors may opt for either a one-day Senior Retreat or the three-day Kairos Retreat.

Under the Augustinian link (above), you will find information about how we incorporate the Augustinian values into our daily school life. We encourage you to take this online exploration!
