First parish of the diocese, Hamilton 1827

 

St. Augustine Church, built 1864
Our  parish of St Augustine’s is the Mother Parish of the Diocese of Hamilton. In 1827, Fr. James Campion built a small wooden chapel in Dundas, marking the beginning of  St. Augustine’s Parish. The first baptism recorded in our register is August 06, 1827, and since then a vibrant community of faith has called St. Augustine’s  home to this very day.

Pastor’s Reflections

“Hear… and respond”

Mass readings for the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time:Deuteronomy 6.2-6 Psalm 181-3, 6, 46 & 50 Hebrews 7.23-28 Mark 12.28-34 “Hear O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one…” We’ve heard these words so many times; ancient words that have rung down the centuries, and they are quite unique in their sentiment.

To see what we don’t want to see

Mass readings for the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time:Jeremiah 31.7-9 Psalm 126.1-6 Hebrews 5.1-6 Mark 10.46-52 “Let me see again.” That is the plea of the beggar Bartimaeus to our Lord. Why does he want to see? That may seem a strange question, but I think we know that many people are quite content to […]

To be a servant

Mass readings for the 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time:Isaiah 53.10-11 Psalm 33 Hebrews 4.14-16 Mark 10.35-45 Jesus calls us to become servants. I sometimes think that is a pretty hard ask.
