Dear Saint Augustine Family,
Today we celebrate the Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. In today's Gospel Jesus invites us to spread His message of eternal salvation to the world. This choice shows His divine love and understanding. But have you fully embraced Jesus' call or has the baggage you have been carrying weighed you down? Click here or download the bulletin below to read Father Pat's Sermon Notes which remind us to give Jesus the baggage we have been carrying!
Join us for Mass at 12:30 p.m. via our YouTube Channel as we place our faith, our hope and our trust in God!
HVAC Fundraising Campaign
We have launched our fundraising efforts to replace the church heating and air conditioning system (HVAC) and in response to several of you, we are in the process of identifying a specific fundraising amount for EACH household or wage earner based on the number of households registered at Saint Augustine Parish.
Our goal, $300,000.00, is a combination of the cost of the new permanent HVAC system ($250,000.00) and the cost of the temporary system providing cool air into the church for the duration of the summer ($50,000.00).
Ways to Give:
(1) You may use the red and white Church Renovation Envelope when giving at Mass through the Collection on Sunday or Mail it in from home.
(2) You can also give online through Faith Direct, our Online Giving apparatus. Please go to our church website for more information.
(3) If you own stock, you can donate securities to support this effort. More information on how you can donate stock to St. Augustine Church is available on our website.
Thank you for jumping right in by doing your part to make our efforts a great success!
Message from Our Local Shepherd
Cardinal Archbishop Wilton Gregory continues to urge all of us to receive the COVID 19 Vaccines at the earliest opportunity. You may be aware that there is a new variant, the Delta variant, which is significantly more contagious and causes more serious illness, so getting the vaccine is more important than ever – not only for your sake but for the sake of others – like children under 12, for whom there is not yet available an approved vaccine! Thank you for doing YOUR part in putting the COVID 19 pandemic behind us!

College Bound Baskets
Our annual College Bound Basket drive has begun! Each year we provide College Bound Baskets for students who have served regularly for three or more years (including their senior year in high school) in a formal parish ministry. Students are nominated by their ministries for this recognition as a recognition of their dedicated service.
Please support our annual College Bound Basket drive by donating the following new items: Towels, Twin XL Sheets, Soap, Laundry detergent, Toothpaste, Toothbrushes, and other items students need to take to college. We also accept monetary donations! Please join us in thanking our graduating seniors for their service!
The Garden of Eden
We need volunteers! We will be meeting every Saturday during the summer and fall at 8:30 a.m. in the church parking lot.
A green thumb is not required, but a generous spirit is desired.
