BELONG · GROW IN FAITH

How can I grow in faith with others?

Find a parish, share in Christian life, and explore a deeper connection with our Augustinian family.

Begin here

Faith grows through relationships as well as personal study and prayer. A parish can help you participate in Mass, receive the sacraments, learn with others, and find opportunities for service.

Start with a small step: introduce yourself, ask about adult faith formation, or join a parish activity. If you are exploring Catholic faith or returning to practice, explain where you are in your journey so the parish can guide you.

The monastery offers another path of spiritual friendship through its Augustinian life. Oblates share more deeply in the spirituality and mission of the community while living their own vocation and responsibilities.

Becoming an Oblate involves discernment and formation with the monastery. Learning resources can help you explore that path; the existing Oblates page explains its prayer life, responsibilities, statutes, and how to begin a conversation.

Take one small step

Find a parish near you and contact it directly.
Ask about a formation group or an opportunity to serve.
If Augustinian life draws you, read our Oblates page and contact the monastery.

Pause and reflect: Where could you receive support in faith, and what could you offer others?

We invite you to explore spiritual friendship with the monastery and discern whether the Oblate path could help you live your baptismal vocation more deeply.
