AUGUSTINIAN FORMATION APPEAL
Forming the next generation of Augustinians
The Augustinians in Australasia are running two formation centres, i.e., in Brookvale, NSW and in Saigon, Vietnam and there are also novices of the Province at the regional novitiate in Cebu, Philippines. They are the centres of formation for young men living out their vocation to religious life as the next generation of Augustinians.
These men are the heart and hands of Christ as they minister to pastoral and temporal needs of the people. Our candidates work diligently each day to answer God’s call to serve and become stewards of our Church.
Today, 8 young men in three formation houses are listening to and discerning God’s call to the religious life. This is only possible with your prayers, encouragement and financial support.
The work and success of the seminary would not be possible without your dedication and support. Your contribution equips these young men with the tools they need to serve our faith community and the inspiration necessary to guide them on their journey. With your generosity, the Augustinian Formation Appeal remains For today. For tomorrow. For all of us.
There are three ways to offer support to the continuing formation of our candidates:
PRAYERS
Firstly and most importantly through your prayers
ENCOURAGEMENT
Secondly, by encouraging young men in your home or community to discern the call to priesthood or religious life; and
FINANCIAL
Finally, by your financial support to cover the annual operating cost to educate and form tomorrow’s Augustinians for Vietnam and Australia.
