    To join the Oder of St. Augustine (O.S.A.), you must be a baptized and confirmed Catholic,
    completed your secondary education with at least five credits in English language and mathematic.
    you must be at least 18 years old and at most 20 years old. An older person (25 years) who is a graduate
    may be considered.

    You can apply through the nearest Augustinian community to you.

    I want to use this medium to say thank you to the Augustinians for allowing themselves to be used by God to impact my life positively.

    Fr. Jacob Yebsonya, Fr. Sixtus Uwague, Fr. Jonah Gugong, Fr. Kanu IKECHUKWU, Fr. James Vivoyere Fr. Eugene Inobeme and Fr. Mark Jande remain great persons to be reckon with.

    Their Augustinian spirituality and Intellectual disposition were positive which they used during my time with them to drive positive change in my life and countless others. Kind Regards.
