ABOUT THE AUGUSTINE INSTITUTE
The Augustine Institute helps Catholics understand, live, and share their faith. We create innovative and engaging materials that help all Catholics deepen their relationship with God and his Church. Lighthouse Catholic Media and the Augustine Institute merged on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception on December 8, 2015. Our Graduate School of Theology provides an opportunity for individuals to study theology and earn either an online or an in-person Catholic theology degree. The Augustine Institute also powers FORMED.org along with Ignatius Press. This Catholic media platform has a wide array of parish programs, Bible studies, and entertaining content to support the whole Catholic Church, especially your diocese, parish, and the individual parishioner. Our Catholic Market is a Catholic store to help you find amazing authors, beautiful products, and the best orthodox resources to deepen your faith and give great Catholic gifts.
Following the mission of our patron, Saint Augustine of Hippo, we are here to support all Catholics at every level of their faith journey. With our expert theologians and biblical scholars at the heart of all we do, you can trust that our content aligns with the teachings of the Catholic Church.
I met this guy a few years ago at a Catholic Men's Fellowship grouping. This guy is a hammer in the tool belt of God.
I was there too! I thought his talk was really good.
Wow. What an amazing inspirational story. May God continue to bless you Jim. I pray that many people who are struggling with addiction see this video and that God touches there heart and brings them back to Himself. My prayers are with you and thank you for all that you are doing. Know that you are a blessing to us all and that you are very loved and cherished by A loving Merciful God. 🙏🏼❤️
