Austin Prep Hosts Augustinian Values Institute

Austin Prep is honored to host the 21^st annual Augustinian Values Institute on campus April 11-13. The Augustinian Values Institute is a directed three-day retreat-like experience based on the Augustinian core values of Truth, Unity and Love. It is sponsored and conducted by the Augustinian Secondary Education Association of the North American Provinces of the Order of Saint Augustine.

Groups of faculty, staff, board members, and other stakeholders representing each of the 11 Augustinian high schools of North America, and guests from around the world, will converge on campus to pray together, share reflections with other school communities, participate in activities that promote the formation of community among the high schools, and develop particular strategies to implement the values at the participant’s home school.

The goal of the AVI is to gain and deepen an appreciation of the Augustinian charism and style. The Institute creates a sense of community, appreciation, solidarity and mutual support for the Augustinian school mission. We look forward to hosting the Augustinian schools this weekend!
