Order of Saint Augustine
The Order of Saint Augustine, abbreviated OSA, is a mendicant religious order of the Catholic Church. It was founded in 1244 by bringing together several eremitical groups in the Tuscany region who were following the Rule of Saint Augustine, written by Saint Augustine of Hippo in the fifth century. They are also commonly known as the Augustinians, Austin friars, or Friars Hermits and were historically known as the Order of Hermits of Saint Augustine. The order has, in particular, spread internationally the veneration of the Virgin Mary under the title of Our Lady of Good Counsel.
