Community Service

St. Augustine was deeply aware of the social/communal aspect of human beings.  The search for truth and the journey of faith were for him both a personal as well as a communal experience: “In the school of the Master-Jesus- we are all fellow students.”
Beyond establishing the importance of communal learning, an Augustinian education fosters in students a desire to contribute to the greater good and to serve the communities to which they belong i.e. family, school, Church, society and world. It instills in students principles of Christian solidarity that move students to look beyond their own self-interests and consider the interests of their fellow human beings.

St. Augustine offers the following clubs for students to serve the community:

Operation Smile Happy Club
Students Helping Students

Students also have a chance to participate in Toy Drives, Clothes Drives, Food Drives and to serve at a local Soup Kitchen for children as part of the Sixth Grade Religion curriculum.
