Hearts on Fire: A Retreat with St. Augustine
AUGUST 28–30, 2026
AUGUSTINE INSTITUTE | FLORISSANT, MO
Join us on campus in St. Louis for our first retreat dedicated to exploring the heart and mind of St. Augustine!
St. Augustine once wrote of God, “Our hearts are restless until they rest in You”—and this retreat invites you to rediscover a foretaste of that rest with St. Augustine as your guide.
Led by experts on the writings and person of St. Augustine, you’re invited to encounter the saint’s burning desire for God and let it set your own heart on fire.
Speakers
What to Expect
Your retreat includes talks, participation in the Mass, opportunities for Confession, and time for Eucharistic Adoration. We’ve worked to balance times of reflection with Mass, devotions, and personal prayer, allowing you to deepen your relationship with God at your own pace.
