The Augustinian Guild
Mass Cards
The Augustinian Guild was established to share with others the spiritual riches of the Augustinian Friars. Individuals enrolled in the Guild, whether living or deceased, share in our Masses, prayers and ministry. Donations to the Guild assist us in our Province Mission, in the care of elderly and infirm friars, and in the training of new Augustinians.
To order Mass cards, complete the online form by hitting the purple button on the right that says “Order Mass Cards.” You can also email or call Maria Manna at (610) 527-3330, ext. 240 or stop by the Provincial office at 214 Ashwood Road in Villanova, PA.
Once your order is received, Mass cards will be mailed directly to you to fill out and give to the recipient. No donation is expected until you use the Mass card, and an envelope will be provided inside your new card for your convenience. You can also make your donation by hitting the “Already Have a Mass Card? Make an Offering Here” button on the right.

Praying for other people has always been an
important element of the Christian life. Saint Augustine writes:
"Prayer is the cry of the heart" (Expositions of the Psalms 120, 9)
Remembering at prayer is a beautiful Catholic practice.
When we recall a person in our prayer, the individual becomes present to us.
We remember, we celebrate, we believe.

“In the last twenty years I am inviting my spirit voice to emerge through painting, and iconography. My productivity is self-propelled, and I am choosing to channel as much as possible through myself by working and creating artworks. The sheer volume of time and focus begins to polish and refine my many projects.”
