Welcome to the Augustinian Academy Alumni Association!
The Augustinian Academy Alumni Association was founded in 1987 to support Catholic secondary education by awarding scholarships to worthy students whose fathers attended Augustinian Academy in Saint Louis, MO and to bring together alumni, former faculty, and religious personnel to renew old friendships and forge new ones.
This site is dedicated to Fr. Jack Gavin, OSA, without whom this association would not be in existence.
We welcome all who visit our web site. If you have any questions, please e-mail us at forum[AT]fightingbraves.org .
Site Dedication
This site is dedicated to Fr. Jack Gavin, OSA. Fr. Jack was directly responsible for the foundation of the Alumni Association. Without his foresight and direction the Scholarship Fund would still be a dream. Fr. Jack served as principal of the Academy from 1968 until our doors were closed for the final time in 1972. Always a friend, Fr. Jack always had a kind word and took the hand that was dealt him like a trooper. He recently had his parish closed by the Archdiocese of St. Louis; even though this was a sad event it was with great celebration that he closed Immaculate Conception Parish.
Fr. Jack recently underwent a knee replacement. After several months recuperation the Provincial decided it was time for Fr. Jack to return to Chicago. He can now be reached at:
Fr. Jack Gavin, OSA
c/o Tolentine Center
20300 Governors Highway
Olympia Fields, IL 60461-1081
(708)748-9500
If you are in the Chicago area drop by and see him, write or give him a call. He would love to hear from any of us.
