Today, the Church celebrates the feast of St. Augustine of Hippo, one of the most influential saints and a Doctor of the Church. In his youth, St. Augustine turned to different philosophies and religions in his relentless search for truth. But his final conversion to Christianity was the answer to 17 years of prayers offered by his mother, St. Monica. His writings and witness have shaped the Church for centuries and continue to inspire Catholics around the world, including Pope Leo XIV, the first pope elected from the Order of St. Augustine. EWTN News Correspondent Zofia Czubak reports from Rome.
