On the 23rd of August, Augustinian novice, David Relstab, received his white habit. He recently completed the pre-novitiate program at Villanova and has David, a native Palos Hills, IL, will be joined by Ramon Riesgo of the California Province. When asked why he was drawn to the Augustinian tradition, David answered “After reading The Confessions, I saw myself relating to what Augustine experienced in his own life and the sense of community I witnessed with the Augustinians isn’t only evident in their houses, but resonates in the communities where they serve.”
We pray for David that God continues to guide and bless him during his formation journey and we also pray for all of our friars in the various stages of vocation formation.
