Our 5 notes
Augustinian
The heart that never stops. They seek and proclaim God; they make real the union of souls and hearts proposed by Saint Augustine.
Community-focused
One soul and one heart toward God. We are true friends, not just "contacts." We care for one another as siblings and together build the Church we dream of.
Missionary
Go forth and ignite. Saint Ezekiel Moreno and Saint Magdalena of Nagasaki send us: we go to the peripheries, we serve those who suffer, we proclaim Christ with our lives.
Marian
Go out and ignite. Under the protection of Mary, Mother of Consolation; they entrust their activities and life.
Prayer-centered
Enter within yourself. A process of ongoing conversion; entering one’s own heart to find God.

We are young people of all ages and from many countries who discover in Saint Augustine a way of living faith that fits in our hearts: inward, in community, and with mission.
We were born under the protection of the Order of Augustinian Recollects and walk together towards a fuller, freer, and more committed life.
How to join?
Easier than you think. There’s no magic form: there’s a group near you, a community already praying for you, and a stage that fits your age. Find your nearest JAR and write to us.
