Our 3 Pillars
Interiority
Dwell in your heart. Because God is not outside, shouting: He is within, waiting for you. Prayer, the Word, and the Eucharist are the air we breathe every day.
Community
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.
Mission
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.
Who we are
A community of young people with one heart.
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.
