Celebrating our Faith in Christ is the touchstone of life here at St. Augustine Catholic Church. More and more we come to recognize that our Sunday Worship, our Faith Formation, our Social Outreach and our Joyful Fellowship are pillars of our life with one another in Christ. He is our Foundation and Cornerstone, and we are His Body, the Church! As of late our parish has been experiencing incredible growth. This will continue not only because of the growth of Newton County, but also because of the draw that our parish community’s holiness will induce. May we always, then, honor and respect the presence of the Risen Christ in one another as we love, pray, work, play, share, learn, and grow as a Family of Faith. And may this Parish website aid us well in that process.
