A few years back, a group of St. Augustine Parishioners created a program to honor and reward our high school senior class servers that have continued to serve mass throughout their entire high school career. These awards are known as the Herman Nagel Server Awards in recognition of Herman Nagel who served at St. Augustine Parish his entire life. Our goal is to provide each recipient with a $500 award at the graduation mass. If you are interested in helping support this program, please contact Cheryl Hillan (866-3912), Marvin Nagel (394-2464) or Marty Park (863-1768). Your financial support is greatly appreciated.
It’s time to think about SPRING CLEANING! In preparation for Easter, join fellow parishioners as we come together to clean our church. For those parishioners who are busy during the work day, a cleaning session has been schedule for March 16th from 7-8:30pm. More of a morning person? Join us on March 17th at 8:00am. Please bring buckets and rags. Men, women and families are welcome to participate. Pews need cleaned, the stations of the cross will be washed, the Mary and Joseph statues and the crucifix will all be wiped down. What a wonderful way to come together as a parish family during Lent!
