Our New Pope: an american and
an augustinian
ABOUT THIS SERIES
About this Series: After the election of Pope Leo, people contacted Fr. Renninger asking for information about the "Augustinian Order." Throughout his priestly life, the Holy Father has been a member of this religious community, and has served around the world in a variety of ministries sponsored by the Augustinians. People are curious, and are asking questions such as:
- What is an Augustinian
- Who was Saint Augustine
- How might Pope Leo's connection to the Augustinians shape his papacy?
Fortunately, we have a parishioner named Patrick Collins who attended Villanova and was a seminarian with the Augustinian community for six years. We asked Patrick to do a series of short videos, sharing information about the Augustinians, their ministry and spirituality.
