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

View from the throne

Mass readings for the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe:Ezekiel 34.11-12, 15-17 Psalm 23.1-6 I Corinthians 15.20-26 Matthew 25.31-46 Today we celebrate the Feast of Christ the King, or more specifically, this is the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. So, none of this Christ “our” king […]

Why we owe
