St. Augustine of Hippo, Our Parish Patron

St. Augustine of Hippo’s Feast Day is celebrated each year on August 28th. Our Parish joyfully celebrates this with our annual Augustinian Address evening and reception. 

The Augustinian Address, first held in 2000, honors the feast day of St. Augustine who is patron saint of the Cathedral Parish, the City of St. Augustine, and the Catholic diocese in Northeast Florida.

This year, the celebration will include Evening Prayer, Vespers, with Bishop Pohlmeier in the Cathedral on Friday, August 28, 2026 at 6:00 p.m.

About our 2026 Augustinian Address Speaker:

She completed her PhD from the University of Notre Dame in 2016, and after holding a postdoctoral position at Notre Dame, she came to teach at the Augustine Institute in 2017.
