Welcome to EremiticsofStAugustine.org
This website is about the works of Eremitics of St. Augustine, and about Catholic individual consecrated life in practice and in canon law, in particular eremitic consecrated life.It is authored by one who is an anchorite consecrated by vows received in the hands of her bishop, in a Mass for Religious Consecration.
Mission Statement
Eremitics of St. Augustine is directed to purposes befitting the Church's mission, to meet the substantial requirements in the community and state of persons who live in or are attracted to individual consecrated life; in particular eremitic consecrated life, a religious life in greater withdrawal from the world, a life of prayer and penance, in silence and solitude; and befitting other works of piety of the apostolate of the Roman Catholic Church, or works of charity, whether spiritual or temporal.
The community of an individually consecrated person is their parish and diocese. Therefore, Eremitics of St. Augustine, Inc., is a canonical aggregate of things in a religious auxiliary organization, a canonical entity and civil corporation. This is more suitable to individual consecrated life than, for example, a canonical association of the faithful, which posits a community separate from the parish and diocese. More > >
