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.

Visit our parish office to complete a registration form in person or register online

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.

Two easy ways to support St. A's
   
Online giving allows you to make automatic monthly or special contributions to the Student Center via checking, savings, or credit card accounts. The ministries greatly benefit from the consistency of these gifts. There is NO COST to you for participation and sign-up steps are simple. Enhance the Student Center today by creating your online giving account at www.ParishPay.com (Note: There's no need to enter a username or password until Step3).
   

Another easy way to help the Student Center raise funds with just a click of your mouse is through GoodSearch, a search engine powered by Yahoo! that allows users to support their favorite charities each time they make an internet search. Visit www.GoodSearch.com, select St. Augustine Church as your charity and download the GoodSearch Toolbar to your browser. Then every time you search for something, you'll be helping your parish!
