Parish Registration

Every Catholic should be registered as a member of a parish community. Since ours is a non-territorial parish, it is necessary to be registered and practicing in order to be married in the Catholic Church or to have one's baby baptized or to act as a Godparent.

Golden Jubilee Celebration and the dedication of the current buildings.

Join us the weekend of December 12-13, 2009 for special liturgies, special activities, and fellowship. Parishioners, guests and visitors will have the opportunity to sign our Golden Jubilee scroll, as well to gather information regarding ways they will be able to support St. Augustine in the future. Become a St. Augustine Jubiliarian by giving a gift of $50.00, one dollar for each year we have been in our current buildings. All Jubiliarians will have their names engraved on our Tree of Life, which will be displayed in the vestibule of the church.
