The programs at the Augustine Institute are one of a kind. They have a unique, interdisciplinary program with “the best theology, scripture study as well as an understanding of where modern men and women are coming from.” These courses are combined with a class that teaches the skills necessary to communicate the timeless Gospel message.
This emphasis has drawn as many as 30 students each year to study at the Augustine Institute. Each of which are hoping to use their knowledge and formation to help others grow in love for Christ and His Church in the career that God is calling them.
“We are developing future and current leaders in the Catholic Church. We have youth ministers, teachers, volunteers, lay people, and FOCUS Missionaries of all ages learning essential truths of the Church and how to bring our faith to others. No matter what walk of life the students come from, we all have a desire deepen our faith and evangelize our community through effective catechesis,” current student Tom Maschka noted.

Julie Reiff, a current second-year student was one of the many students who was drawn to the school because of the “passionate, dynamic professors.”
“[They] live what they, as Catholics, believe and teach, both in and out of the walls of the classroom. Our professors care not only about our academic formation but also encourage spiritual development and guiding us in the knowledge of our individual roles within the New Evangelization.”
“They open their hearts and homes to the students,” she continued. “Their doors are open not only for academic guidance but also for personal formation. They truly care for the students and are dedicated in their pursuit of training and forming leaders for the New Evangelization.”
