St. Augustine's is now live streaming Masses. Please be patient until the new camera comes in as the video quality is not HD with the current setup. We are also working on a better website integration than a series of links but wanted to make this available to parishioners as soon as possible.

Please visit https://staug.ca for the current video links

To celebrate the feast day of St. Augustine of Canterbury

- on Saturday 26 May there will be a Potluck Supper in the Parish Square following the 4:00 PM Mass. Foods native to India will be a feature of the potluck but all are encouraged to bring something of their own to share

- on Sunday 27 May the Mauritian community will form a choir at the 11:00 AM Mass. Following Mass there will be a BBQ and entertainment and carnival like games in the gymnasium of St. Augustine School

St. Augustine of Canterbury Church has the Saint John’s Bible in its possession. The Saint John’s Bible is described as the first handwritten and illuminated Bible to have been produced since the creation of the printing press. I have attached a few illuminations courtesy of my iPhone.

Originally it seemed the Bible would be in our possession for a number of weeks and then it seemed that we would be able to access it not at all and so to have the Saint John’s Bible even for a short period is a pleasant surprise. Any event though will come as short notice. The following is no exception:

On Monday evening - of 20 November - at St. Augustine Church at 7:00 PM those gathered will celebrate Evening Prayer. A handout will be created for the purpose of aiding participation and opportunity will exist afterward to take a closer look at this beautiful production.

While Evening Prayer is more grounded in certain traditions than others this invitation is extended to all. Please come and spread the word prior to doing so!
