Vacation Bible School allows our young children an immersive experience filled with interaction and play while learning the foundations of our Catholic faith.
We will have GAMES, SKITS, SONGS, and ACTION!

Synod Listening Sessions
Listening Sessions for the Synod for will be on Tuesday, February 22 at 3:30pm and at 6:30pm.
There will be a half hour of Prayer before the Blessed Sacrament at St. Augustine.
Then the Listening Session in Jennings Hall to follow.
You can prepare by reflecting on the following questions (though you may share anything that you would like):
1. Do I feel like I belong in this parish community? Why or why not?
2. How do we as a Church listen well, and where do we fall short in hearing the voices of all who live in this area?
3. What areas of Christ’s mission are we neglecting?
We hope to see you at one of these sessions on February 22nd.
Holy Week 2022
Our Journey from Death to New Life
Easter Triduum
The “Easter Triduum”, the sacred three days, from Holy Thursday evening to Easter Sunday are celebrated as one great feast, the solemn celebration of the Church year. The Triduum is a commemoration of Jesus’ death and resurrection into new life. We celebrate what we believe: that Christ by dying destroyed our death and by rising he restored our life. The Triduum celebrates our participation as parish communities in God’s saving action, as we pass from death to new life in Christ.
