Dan Madden, O.S.A. “What happens over the course of formation—personal and relational growth— needs time, and therefore resources. I am grateful for my different formators and for the many growth-filled experiences formation has provided. Formation has shaped me into the Augustinian I am today. It has laid the foundation for a life of saying, “yes, I am ready,” even when I may find myself in uncomfortable and challenging situations. There is great peace in knowing that. Thank you for your prayers and for supporting me along this journey. It has made all the difference!” Click  here  to  read more about Br. Dan’s story as he prepares for his ordination to the priesthood on October 10, 2020.
