Help the Church be ready for those whom the Lord is drawing home.
Many of us carry the name of someone we hope will return to the Church. Like St. Monica, we pray with perseverance. And when, like St. Augustine, a restless heart seeks truth, we must be ready to share it.
Your gift helps form faithful Catholics and provide the trusted teaching, resources, and places of encounter that can lead people closer to Christ.
Together, We Are Forming Catholics for Life
You may know the Augustine Institute through Formed, our Graduate School of Theology, or the resources we provide to parishes. But our mission also reaches into homes and family life—helping Catholics grow in faith through every season and stage.
This work takes many forms, but it serves one purpose: equipping people to know, live, and share the Catholic faith. See how your generosity helps make that mission possible.
St. Monica could not force her son’s conversion or see clearly how God was working. Still, she continued to place Augustine before the Lord. Her witness gives us courage to keep praying—and to help prepare faithful people and resources for the moment someone begins turning toward Christ.
Your support of the Augustine Institute has allowed us to reach into the lives of Catholics around the world.
This year, we've seen people spend more time with Christ and grow deeper in faith:
+ 236,000 hours of prayer and reflection on the Amen app
+ 245,000 hours spent with formation materials on Formed—including nearly 60,000 hours through The Heart of Prayer digital retreat
+ 3,000 hours of deeper study through Augustine Institute Short Courses
Every hour represents someone encountering the truth, beauty, and hope of the Catholic faith. It is only with your generosity that these encounters are possible.
Persistent prayer
is never wasted
Be ready for
a restless heart
Conversion is rarely the end of the story. Those who encounter Christ need truth, prayer, community, and faithful people who can accompany them. Your generosity helps the Augustine Institute form Catholics at every stage of that journey.
Through faith education, compelling Catholic media, parish resources, children’s curriculum, and retreats on our St. Louis campus, the Augustine Institute offers countless tools to help Catholics understand, live, and share their faith.
Help this mission reach even further by sharing this page with friends, family, and others who believe in forming Catholics for a lifetime of faith.
