Welcome to the family of St. Augustine Academy!

Once again we gather to renew old friendships and forge new ones. We enter together, as a community of learners – students, teachers and parents – the task, outlined in our mission, of forming our theological, intellectual and moral virtues as we pursue Heaven, the Truth and the Good. In fidelity to the truths of our Holy Catholic Church, the mission of Saint Augustine Academy is to assist parents in their duty of fostering within their children growth in the theological, intellectual, and moral virtues.

Catholic Honor Roll

As we pursue these noble goals, let us walk together with the guidance of our Holy Patron, St. Augustine. Each year we remind ourselves that we, individually and collectively, must strive to more fully understand and live according to St. Augustine’s most famous quotation:

“Our hearts are restless, Lord, until they rest in Thee.”

“When it comes to life, the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.”

“You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, waling, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.” 

Let us say grace, i.e., give gratitude to God, for this school – for her time-honored principles of virtue and education, for her families and the beautiful children who make up this St. Augustine family, and for the faculty, staff and, in a particular way, with extra gratitude, our benefactors. Let’s all strive to adopt these ideals – students, teachers and parents alike, and build each other up in the friendship of Christ and as citizens of one nation, under God.

God Bless,
Michael J. Van Hecke
