The shared history of St. Augustine’s Minorcan community will take center stage Thursday, May 7, during a special St. Augustine History Festival presentation at the National Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche at Mission Nombre de Dios.

“The Orthodox and Catholic Minorcans of St. Augustine” will be held in the Father López Meeting Room of the Pilgrim Center, 101 San Marco Ave., St. Augustine. Light refreshments begin at 5 p.m., followed by the lecture at 5:30 p.m. The program is co-hosted by the Archives & Records Management Office of the Diocese of St. Augustine and the St. Photios Greek Orthodox National Shrine.

The evening will offer a dynamic dual lecture examining the religious experiences of the Orthodox and Catholic Minorcans of St. Augustine during the Revolutionary War, shedding light on a chapter of local history that reflects both hardship and perseverance. Organizers say the presentation will help participants better understand the faith traditions that shaped Minorcan life and the lasting influence of that community on the nation’s oldest city.

Guest speakers for the program are Katy Lockard, director of Archives and Records Management for the diocese, and Archon Carl R. Hollister, executive director of the St. Photios Greek Orthodox National Shrine. Together, they will offer insight into the intertwined histories of Catholic and Orthodox Minorcans and the significance of their witness in St. Augustine’s past.

The presentation is part of the 2026 St. Augustine History Festival and is expected to appeal to anyone interested in local history, Church history, the Minorcan community and the longstanding relationship between Catholic and Orthodox Christians in St. Augustine.

Seating is limited, and advance registration is encouraged.

Reservations may be made through Eventbrite by visiting MinorcanOrthodoxCatholic.eventbrite.com
