Our July 2026 newsletter looks back on June’s blessings and progress while sharing preparations for the monastery’s August celebration of St. Augustine.

Preparing to Celebrate Together

On behalf of the Florida Oblate Family of Saint Augustine, this issue extended an invitation to friends, benefactors, and the wider Augustinian family to gather on August 23 for prayer, fellowship, and thanksgiving.

The planned celebration offered an opportunity to honor St. Augustine and renew the community’s commitment to his spirituality and charism.

Growing in Hospitality

The newsletter describes plans for a garden surrounding the newly completed platform and retaining wall, creating space for reflection, prayer, and community gatherings.

It also reports continued activity in the monastery’s RV hospitality initiative. Guests expressed appreciation for the peaceful surroundings, while income from their stays helped meet daily needs and support maintenance and improvements.

Nourished by the Eucharist

Reflecting on Corpus Christi and devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, this issue calls readers to recognize Christ’s presence in community life. Its spiritual message invites us to grow in unity, charity, and service, finding our true peace in God.
