Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine

CSA Associate Relationship...

   We, the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine, vowed members and Associates,
see ourselves as members of the Body of Christ called to share the love of
God with those around us.

   We also see ourselves as enriched by other members of His Body who experience their faith life as most effective when they reach out to serve God Incarnate in others.

   We believe that by DEEPENING our spirituality and UNITING with others in prayer, we ENABLE each other to SHARE in the Kingdom of God.

   We offer opportunities to grow spiritually, ministerially, and personally through our Associate Relationship.

   Who is an Associate? Any Christian woman or man who wishes to share in our charism for a specified and renewable period of time may apply to become an
Associate. This person should have a desire to live the values and goals
shared by the Congregation in his or her own life style; the capacity to
make a commitment to the Associate Relationship; independence in financial
matters.

   Spirit and Charism of the Sisters of Charity of Saint Augustine

   The love of God reflected in Christ and nourished by the Spirit finds a response in us, the Sisters of Charity of Saint Augustine.

   Our charism of charity -namely- love of God, particularly as we find God incarnate in our neighbor, motivates us. We seek to love one another and each person we encounter.

   We minister through a variety of means but always with the same purpose, to share the love of God with those around us and thus to make the Kingdom more a reality in our world.

   Out of the traditions of the past, we find meaning for the present and hope for the future, responding as our founding sisters did to the physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual needs of God's people.
