Lay Augustinians

Lay Augustinians are one of the four branches of the Order of St. Augustine.  The whole Augustinian family is made up of the Friars, the Contemplative Nuns, Religious Congregations that follow the Rule of St. Augustine and the Laity.

The Lay Augustinians are committed  to live a life in relationship with Jesus by virtue of their Baptism in the spirit of St. Augustine. They  experience his spirit when the  come together  as a community to pray and to study his writings. 

St Augustine continues to serve the church through the influence of his writings.  The Lay Augustinians also continue to serve the church in particular ministries which  involve the secular life which embraces marriage, family, work, political and ecomomic activity, culture, scientific research, education etc. 

There are many different Lay groups in the Villanova Province.  The Lay Augustinians at Our Mother of Good Counsel meet on the first and third Tuesday of the Month from 7 to 8 PM.  All are welcome to join us at any of these meetings.
