The Province of Our Mother of Good Counsel of the Augustinian Order has an immediate opening for a full-time accounting/administrative assistant in their Treasurer’s office.

We are looking for an energetic, organized, "people person” who enjoys working with a variety of people in a pleasant setting. This person must be flexible, service-oriented, and a total team player willing to learn new things. He or she must be comfortable working for a Catholic mission organization, and with the donors and volunteers who support that mission.

Letter to the Order of St. Augustine from the Prior General

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

In light of the recent report on clerical abuse by the grand jury of Pennsylvania, I have felt compelled to address this by briefly commenting on how disheartening this has been.  Just the idea, let alone the evidence produced, of over 1000 children and young people abused by hundreds of clergy and religious is stunning.

The Augustinians mourn the loss of another brother, as Br. John J. Stobba, OSA has gone to eternal life. He took his last breath on August 14, 2018 at 11:20pm. He was 88 years of age.

Please join the Augustinians in mourning the loss of Fr. Alfred M. Burke, OSA, who passed away at 8:05 PM, Japan time, on June 20, 2018.

On the morning of Monday, June 4 the delegates of the Midwest Augustinian Province officially opened the week-long Provincial Chapter and promptly elected Fr. Anthony Pizzo, OSA, as the incoming Prior Provincial. Fr. Pizzo, who has been serving as the Pastor of St. Rita of Cascia Parish in Chicago, will be installed as Prior Provincial at an evening prayer service at St. Rita Shrine Chapel at St. Rita High School this Wednesday, June 6. The service will begin at 6:30 PM, and all are invited to attend.

We are delighted to take this opportunity to tell you more about our 2018 Affiliate Honorees: Tony and Phyllis Lauinger, who are members of the Cascia Hall community and Chairpersons for the National Right to Life.

Augustinians of the Midwest are encouraged mark the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, March 21, 2018, with prayer, reflection, witness and action individually, in their communities and in their ministries. The Augustinians invite all who identify with Augustinian spirituality and traditions to do likewise.

In celebrating Fr. John Merkelis, O.S.A, we honor a man who has provided extraordinary spiritual care and guidance to the community of Providence Catholic High School, to the friars he serves as Personnel Director and Vicar Provincial, and to all those who are blessed to call him a friend. 
 

On Monday, February 5, the inter-religious social justice organization Protected by Faith held a press conference in Federal Plaza, downtown Chicago, to demonstrate their support of young DREAMers. Fr. Tony Pizzo, O.S.A., Pastor of St. Rita of Cascia Parish, was invited to set the opening context for the organization's support of the nation's young, vulnerable immigrant population.
