Augustine of Hippo

Bishop of Hippo; Doctor of the Church

b. November 13, 354

d. August 28, 430

To say that Saint Augustine is a “leader” or “father” of the church seems an understatement. Few figures have been more influencial on the development of Christian theology. Among his many writings are his Confessions and The City of God.

Augustine’s influence extends right into the Saint Thomas pulpit to this very day, where our priests regularly rely on his wisdom and clarity, and even on the lessons to be learned from his own life. Among so many examples in the trove are these:

The Love of Money by Fr Mead (2006)

All in the Family by Fr Mead (2005)
