Welcome!

The congregation of St. Augustine's Catholic Church welcomes you to our web site, but we'd rather meet you in person! Not unlike the patron Saint whose name we bear, the parishioners of St. Augustine's are a friendly, accepting and outgoing group who welcome friends and visitors alike. Come share a Sunday service with us, then join us for the worlds best cup of coffee and homemade treats afterward. It's not the inside of heaven's gates - but it's the next best thing!
