(1888-1912)
Father Augustine entered our community from New Prague, MN, and pronounced his final vows August 27, 1911. He was a tuberculosis patient in the Sisters of Charity's Glockner Sanatorium in Colorado Springs, CO, at the time of his death. He was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Matz of Denver October 21, 1911.
In a July 2000 issue of Home Pages, Brother John Kaighin mentions that there are several examples of Father Augustine's correspondence on file. The following is a priceless example. The quote is taken from a card to Father Lambert Burton March 28, 1912.
"While you good monks are getting up at 3:45 and spending your time and strength in the classroom, in choir and before a pile musty ‘scriptions' and exercise books, besides fasting six days a week, yours truly is living the life of luxury, getting up at 7:00, eating meat even on Fridays and having holiday every day. Saw my doctor yesterday. He examined me thoroughly and thinks my chest is doing extremely well. I am feeling good and saying Mass everyday For that I thank God. Kindly give my regards to all."
