The parish of St. Augustine’s had a challenge in celebrating its patron saint, the great doctor of the Church, Augustine who died August 28, 430 A.D.
Thanks to parish volunteers and our Knights of Columbus we were able to mark the occasion with a commemorative cookie; and following the Sunday 11 a.m. mass, a lunch of grilled hotdogs, and hamburgers with cold drinks and pleasantly cooperative weather (rain was forecast, and it did pour less than an hour after our fellowship time was done).
As Augustine is our patron saint, we are allowed to celebrate his festal day on the Sunday at the regular masses as well as at the evening Mass of the Saturday.
