When St. Augustine’s was built in the 19^th Century it was a time of growth and expansion, and I’m sure bewildering and sometimes frightening technical advancement.

In the ensuing decades St, Augustine’s has seen growth and decline, suffered loss and damage as a result of conflict and even a period of closure, but the little church on the hill is still here in the 21^st Century and the faith in God and the desire to spread the good news of Christ’s message just as strong now as it was with the people who built it.

We are sure it is no accident that Christ was born in winter when the bright star that heralded his birth could be seen clearly and by the most people.

And so we at St. Augustine’s invite everyone to join us in our weekly celebration of Christ’s presence among us, and if you are unable to join us in person for whatever reason we wish you peace, love and joy and pray that God’s love and Christ’s light shines on all mankind.
