Thank You, Friends of Tolentine!

The Augustinians are grateful to the Friends of Tolentine, also known as the Men of Tolentine and Ladies of Tolentine.  For many decades, the Friends of Tolentine have supported the works of the Augustinians through both prayers and donations.  In December 2013, the Friends of Tolentine decided to disband their organization but continue to serve the Augustinians individually.  We appreciate all that they have done for us in the past, and what their members will continue to do for us.

The Friends of Tolentine will present their final gift as a group to the Augustinians at the Augustinian Gala on April 25 at the Drake Hotel in Chicago.  The gift came from the 2013 Man of the Year event honoring Don Mrozek.  The Friends of Tolentine have honored a total of 46 men since 1968 and we proudly list them below.  Thank you again to all the efforts of the many Friends of Tolentine!
