Religion

"You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you."
An AugustinianPrayer

St. Augustine is a community of faith where both students and teachers endeavor to live and extend the values of the gospel taught by Jesus Christ at school and in the community-at-large. Religion is a required course during all four years of the Saints academic program. Catholic values inspire and inform the entire school program. The student body attend Mass every week, and a variety of spiritual programs are held each year.

The flaming heart is the human heart. It symbolizes Augustine's love of God and
his fellow brothers and sisters. The Augustinian Heart is passionately alive, with the desire to
know God and experience divine love in our lives.

The open book represents St. Augustine's own conversion to Christianity and the Scriptures.
It also symbolizes the Word of God, source of light and truth, and the quest for wisdom.

The arrow which pierces the heart represents the Spirit of God piercing our hearts, calling us to
continued growth in faith, hope, and love. This is the basis of that great restlessness,
typical of St. Augustine, which led him to seek God in all things and above all things.
