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.

Indeed, we can think of figures from both the Old and New Testaments, […]

A light for all

Mass readings for the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord:Malachi 3.1-4 Psalm 24.7-10 Hebrews 2.10-11,13b-18 Luke 2.22-40 This is my first Candlemas celebrated in this parish as the Sunday liturgy; it’s quite nice to highlight this event of Jesus’ presentation in the temple to the many who can’t make it out to the celebration […]

It’s a wedding, and the wine’s running out – so, hardly end of the world stuff, but a drama nonetheless. For the wedding couple and their families, its a looming […]
