Shared Augustinian Unity and Friendship in Tulsa

Mass, reception, and community celebration held at Cascia Hall and Polo Grill

In mid-October, the Midwest Augustinian community from near and far gathered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for a day-long celebration of faith, friends, family, and Augustinian tradition.

The day started with a mass held at Cascia Hall Preparatory School's St. Rita Chapel and ended with a reception and dinner at one of Tulsa's top restaurants, the Polo Grill, which is owned by longtime Augustinian supporters Chef Robert Merrifield and Donna Merrifield.

This event has become an annual tradition, and many look forward to the delightful meal and company. Chef Merrifield prepared a multi-course dinner of shrimp, salad, tenderloin and chicken, and a red velvet cake for dessert.

The event was hosted by Tony and Phyllis Lauinger, Margaret and Brian Reimann, and David and Lisa Vaughan.

We were honored to spend this time celebrating our Augustinian heritage together.
