ABOUT US
The Augustinian Province of Saint Joseph was
juridically established on the 13th of November
1967. Five Friars had come to Canada on the 4th
of May, 1938 and settled in Tracadie, County of
Antigonish, Nova Scotia. They were German
Augustinian Friars who worked in the United
States and established communities there also,
particularly in Racine, Wisconsin (1925), New
York, NY (1933), Kenosha, Wisconsin (1935).
After their arrival to Canada, they continue to
serve the needs of the local church and founded
communities in the Archdioceses of Toronto
(1942), Vancouver (1943), and Ottawa (1953).
Presently, the Augustinians are serving in three
parishes in the Archdiocese of Toronto, and one
in the Archdiocese of Vancouver. Besides parish
ministries, they also provide retreat ministry
at Marylake.
Under the direction of the Province of Chicago,
the Canadian Province is committed to promote
the charism of the Order in Canada and is
willing to serve the needs of the local church. |
