Core Values and Hymns

CARITAS (Charity)

Charity embraces both love of God and love of neighbor. It is the greatest of all graces, and it measures the value of persons since we are worth as much as how we love. All our conduct as human beings and as Christians, like work, personal relation, entertainment, etc. must be motivated by love or charity, and must tend to form in us, with God’s grace, that very valuable virtue.

VERITAS (Truth)

Truth is found when the mind reflects on the reality of anything. It is found when the person discovers the realities and values that orient, give sense, and may bring contents to human life. In truth there is community between what a person thinks and what he speaks.

UNITAS (Unity)

Unity is basic for the existence of things. It means “being” one. The power and strength of unity are connected with the becoming of being. Augustine’s thought on unity is not only of the self, but it progresses toward a more social direction which is partnership with other people.

CSA-B HYMN

Alma Mater, dear San Agustin,
Beacon light shining on this fair land;
God bestowed graces pouring like rain,
Virtue and Science to us you hand.
Symbol and truth and of liberty,
Red and gold your colors flying high,
In true Augustinian loyalty,
We shout your glory across the sky (2x)

CSA-B MARCH

Golden star guiding us along the journey.
Light that brightens the pathways of the mind,
We will hail you forever, Alma Mater,
And will treasure your legacy with pride.
Red and gold heart aflame is your banner,
Living symbol of everlasting love;
Virtue and Science, your motto stands forever,
Faith and wisdom for men free under God.
At the call of your name we sing your praises
And proclaim to the sky your glorious feats,
Praise and glory to you our Alma Mater,
Praise and glory to you San Agustin.
