Legacy Campaign Donor Plaque Blessing

On Sunday, September 22, the Prior Provincial and Advancement Office were proud to host a ceremony recognizing the generous donors of the Legacy Capital Campaign.

The ceremony was held at the Province Offices and included a prayer service and reception. Donors and several friars were invited to give short speeches and lead prayers in the ceremony.

During the prayer service, Fr. Anthony B. Pizzo, O.S.A., blessed the newly installed Legacy Campaign plaque. The plaque includes depictions of Saint Augustine, Saint Monica, Our Mother of Good Counsel, and Saint Rita, who are central figures in the Augustinian order. Many donor names are also featured.

The 2024 Legacy Capital Campaign raised more than $2.7 million dollars for vocation and evangelization programs, surpassing its original goal with contributions from 345 donors across 26 states. During the campaign, many donors shared that Augustinians had a profound effect on their lives. Our friars were commended for their work teaching, coaching, supporting retreat work, preaching, administering the sacraments, or assisting families with tuition or other needs.

Donations to the mission continue to make this impact possible. We are humbled and honored by the donations as we strive to honor Christ through our work.
