Augustinians

General Information

Augustinians are members of various Roman Catholic religious communities of men and women who follow the Rule of St. Augustine, a code of rules for the monastic life originally drawn up by St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430). The two main groups of Augustinians are the Augustinian (Austin) Canons--or Canons Regular of Saint Augustine--dating from the 11th century, and the Augustinian Hermits or Friars, established by Pope Alexander IV in 1256. The traditional garb of Augustinians is a black tunic, a short cape, and a cowl. Famous Augustinians include Martin Luther, in his early career, and the geneticist Gregor Mendel.
