STUDY AT ST. AUGUSTINE'S THIS FALL

Dear Friends,

There is still time to apply for our upcoming programs—but not much. Applications close mid-July, and we invite you to take the next step in deepening your faith and formation through one of our programs!

Whether you are seeking a richer understanding of Sacred Scripture, Catholic theology, philosophy, patristics, spiritual formation, or pastoral ministry, our programs are designed to help you grow in knowledge, faith, and service to the Church. Courses are taught by experienced faculty, including Rev. Hubertus Drobner, Dr. Josephine Lombardi, Fr. Kevin Belgrave, and more! Expect an engaging and supportive learning environment for students from a wide range of backgrounds.

Meet Patrick Douglas, a graduate of our Certificate in Theological Studies program:

ALUMNI TESTIMONIALS

“As a Youth Minister, one of the challenges in my work is to present the Catholic faith to young people in a way that is orthodox, digestible and relevant. The formation I received at St. Augustine’s has equipped me to be a better teacher, leader, evangelist, role model and friend, but most importantly, a closer disciple of Jesus.”

Hilton Chiu, Master of Theological Studies

“The formation at St. Augustine’s Seminary really grounds students in their Catholic identity, and enables them to be leaders in ministry. It's life changing!”

Michelle Brylowski, Master of Theological Studies

“Whatever your walk of life, whoever you may be, including all lay people, if you have an interest in deepening your knowledge of the faith, I cannot recommend this program enough and St. Augustine’s Seminary in general.”

Rev. Canon Huberfeld, Licentiate in Theology and Patristic Studies

“Not only is the faculty amazing, not only will you make great friendships, but you will also be nurtured. Holistically, you will be nurtured, and you will gain so much from that experience.”

Veronica Tuzi, Master of Religious Education

“St. Augustine’s Seminary helped to form me into a leader, to prepare me for ministry in the parish, to put the needs of others before myself, to be a servant leader.”

Fr. Ryan Nigli, Master of Divinity

“I chose St. Augustine’s because I knew that the academic formation would be excellent, but also that it would translate into an ability to better communicate the truths of our Faith. I was not interested in scholarship that did not have holiness and heaven as its end. Learning under men and women who embodied what they teach was a gift that cannot be understated.”

Erin Kinsella, Master of Theological Studies

“The Diploma in Philosophy helped me recognize the ideas I had absorbed from the culture without even realizing it and really introduced me to the riches of the Church's philosophical tradition.”

Sister Hope, Diploma in Philosophy

“The professors and program at St. Augustine’s have imparted a theological foundation that has been invaluable for my personal relationship with Christ, my pedagogy, forming a pastoral connection to students, and fostering friendships with likeminded Catholic educators.”

Brenelle D’Souza, Master of Religious Education
