On Sunday, 12th December, during the evening Eucharist at St. Augustine’s Church in Valletta, 7 people made the Vow to be full members of the Secular Augustinian Fraternity of St. Augustine and St. Monica.
The Order of St. Augustine from an early age nurtured within it a number of lay people, who while continuing to live their lives in the world, join, as an integral part, in the purpose and mission of the Order by living the same spirituality based on the principles of St. Augustine’s Rule and the secular tradition of the Order, as part of the charism to the service of the Church.
The Augustinian Secular Fraternity of St. Augustine and St. Monica (F.A.S.) is made up of Catholic Christians, men and women who are in the world and at the heart of the Church. They are called to live the sacrament of baptism in the world from an Augustinian perspective, and they know how to share their faith and friendship with each other. The Eucharist was led by Provincial Fr. Leslie Gatt osa and the Promise of the Candidates to be members of the Fraternity was made infront of the new Assistant General of the Augustinian Order Fr. Javier Perez Barba osa.
