About Saint Augustine. Augustine was born on November 13, 354, in Thagaste in Numidia, in what is now Algeria. He was baptized by Saint Ambrose in Milan in 387 and later became Bishop of Hippo Regius, where he died on August 28, 430. His mother, Saint Monica, is remembered for her prayers for his conversion. His best known works are the Confessions and The City of God.
Pope Boniface VIII named him a Doctor of the Church in 1298. He is a patron of theologians, printers, and brewers.
Choose this candle for a priest or seminarian, a theology or philosophy student, a convert, an RCIA sponsor gift, or anyone who loves the Confessions.
