Who are we?

The Augustinian brothers
We the Maltese Augustinian brothers form part of a big team, spread throughout more than 40 countries around the world. We share our life together, as brothers, yet our activities are diverse.

St. Augustine, whose ideals we follow, for ever wanted to live a communitarian life together with some friends. They used to read the Word of God, pray, work and share their day together. Many years after St. Augustine established his communities, in 1244, Pope Innocence IV gathered many communities of hermits in Italy, from which he founded the Augustinian Order: he wanted them to live the iideals of St. Augustine by means of the communitarian life and the rule Augustine wrote, while giving themselves to the spreading of the Word wherever the need arose.

In short, this encompasses our ideal: to be 'one heart and one soul in God' by sharing daily everyday moments of prayer, the Eucharist, our work, food and leisure.  This, we live in the spirit of the first Christians of Jersualem, where nobody considered anything to be his but everything was shared by everybody.

Provincial Vocational Commission
The Provincial Vocational Commission (Kummissjoni Provincjali Vokazzjonali – KPV) is a commission, of the Augustinian Province of Malta, founded to promote and organize activities to foster more Augustinian vocations. The Commission meets regularly to study plans of pastoral activity, which particularly reaches young men, and organizes activities for them, in order to help them continue to grow in the love of God, while discovering their true vocation. The activities of the Commission vary from meetings, outings, live-ins and celebrations, connected with particular days such as Augustinian Vocations Day (13th November) and the Open Day at St. Augustine’s College.

The Commission, which meets at least every 3 months is made up of 13 members. The President is the Provincial Vocational Animator, Fr. Alex Cauchi OSA while the secretary is Mr. Adrian Scicluna. The other members are Fr. Provincial Lucian Borg OSA, the Assistant Vocational Educator Fr. Leslie Gatt OSA , Fr. Josef Sciberras OSA, Fr. Franco Grech OSA, Fr. Pierre Desira OSA, Br. Deo Debono OSA, Br. Stephen Camilleri OSA, Br. Luke Attard Bason OSA, Br. Terence Spiteri, prenovice Antonio Camilleri and Mr. Paul Sammut. Apart from the commission meetings, many members meet in small groups to discuss and organize particular activities.
