Dear St. Augustine Family,
Today we celebrate the Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time. The Prophet Amos exclaims in the first reading: “Woe to the complacent!” Yet, the idle rich continue to indulge themselves with no care for the plight of the needy. In the Gospel, the rich man ignores the beggar Lazarus outside his door. What the complacent and indifferent don’t seem to realize is that their eternal fate is intimately tied to the poor that they ignore. The same is true for us today. May we all treat the poor like our lives depend on it, and not just theirs!
Mass is celebrated on Saturdays at 4:30 p.m. and on Sundays at 8:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m., and 12:30 p.m. The 12:30 p.m. Mass will be live-streamed via our YouTube Channel.
We greatly appreciate your support of our parish's mission and those less fortunate. If you are able to contribute at this time, click here to sign up for automatic contributions, a one-time donation or text (202) 930-8147 to give. Thank you.

Youth Alter Server training will begin this coming Saturday October 1, 2022 at 9:30am in the church. Youth who are in the third grade and up and have received their First Communion are welcome to join.
The St. Augustine Health and Homebound Ministry invites you to join them for a Day of Recollection at the Saint John Paul II National Shrine here in Washington, DC. The theme this year is Spiritual Restoration: A Path to Emotional Well Being.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 29th, from 9am to 3pm. Come join us as we explore together how God’s grace prepares us and sustains us to face life’s most challenging storms.
Are you curious about the Catholic faith? Have you considered becoming a Roman Catholic, but just did not know how? Do you know someone who would like to explore the Catholic traditions?
Consider joining St. Augustine’s Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA).
RCIA is a Ministry dedicated to faith formation and full initiation of adults with no religious background or those coming from other faith traditions, into the Roman Catholic faith. RCIA also invites baptized Catholics seeking to receive the Sacraments of Confirmation and/or Eucharist to participate in the transformative spiritual journey towards a rich and fulfilling life in Christ.
Virtual and in person Inquiry Sessions are held EVERY Tuesday, September 13 from 6:30 - 8:30pm.
Email staugrcia@gmail.com to connect with one of the RCIA team members or the RCIA team member at the entrance of the church for more information.
