Yup, there it is in black and white in the link that Paula provided. Augustine is the link to evolution:

The idea of evolution was not particularly dominant in patristic and scholastic theology and philosophy, both on account of the dualism which runs through them as an echo of Plato and Aristotle, and on account of the generally accepted Christian theory of creation. However, evolution is not generally denied; and with Augustine (De civitate dei, xv. 1) it is taken as the basis for a philosophy of history.

It is no wonder that the Catholic Church holds to evolution and holds up Augustine as a great church father.
