NEW ADULT CATHOLIC EDUCATION CLASS St. Augustine: A Companion in a Time of Transition
Our fall and winter Adult Catholic Education class (ACE) is an introduction to the life, thought, and times of Augustine of Hippo—convert, bishop, preacher, and teacher for Christians living through times of cultural change. An informational meeting will be held at 4:30 PM on Wednesday, September 16 in Siena Hall, with the weekly class to begin on Wednesday, October 7 at 4:30 PM in Siena Hall, taught by Henry Coates.
Henry received his Master of Divinity from Princeton and his Master of Theology from Harvard, and served as a Presbyterian Pastor for over ten years. The (former) Rev. Coates was welcomed home to the Catholic Church Easter 2026. He has taught Bible, theology, and church history at institutions around the world, most recently Loyola Chicago.
If you want to get a head start, pick up any modern translation of Augustine’s Confessions, and either Peter Brown’s Augustine of Hippo OR Catherine Conybeare’s Augustine the African. For a copy of the syllabus, or if you have any questions, reach out to Henry via office@holyrosarypdx.org. To register for the class, sign up here. You can also read Henry’s recent article on St. Augustine and his conversion here.
All who would like to be blessed with a relic of St. Juan Macias, OP, are welcome to attend the 12:00 PM Mass on his feast day, Friday, September 18. The blessing will follow immediately after Mass. Born on March 2, 1585 in Spain, St. Juan Macias is one of the lesser-known saints of the Order of Preachers. Like his friend St. Martin de Porres, Juan was not a priest, but a faithful friar who preached the Gospel in ways hidden to most. On January 22, 1622, Juan received the Dominican habit at the Priory of La Magdalena in Peru, where he served as porter. Although he preferred solitude and contemplation, he would provide food for those who came to the priory in need, sometimes over 200 people a day. He also had an unusual way to raise money. Tradition tells us that he trained a donkey to travel throughout town and collect alms from the usual benefactors to the priory. Juan died on September 16, 1646, and a miracle occurred during his funeral shortly thereafter, when a deaf priest used Juan’s hand to bless his ear, and his hearing was restored.
