Augustinian Saints, Blesseds and More . . .

Through the ages many followers of the Augustinian way of life have been declared Saint or Blessed by the Catholic Church.

These heroes of the Christian Faith, made holy through the power of Jesus Christ, are recognized for their lives of virtue and for their service to God and the Church.

They are each given their day in the Liturgical Calendar for special honor, when Christians, especially Augustinian Friars and Sisters, recall their example of faithful living and ask them to intercede with God for those living today.

Here are their names and the dates of their liturgical celebrations. Click on a name to see a brief biographical sketch of the Augustinian Saint or Blessed of the day.
