It
is a joy to welcome you to the website of St. Augustine of Canterbury Church, a parish
community in the Patrimony of the Primate of the Traditional Anglican Communion. Though a newly formed parish, we can trace our
heritage back to the undivided Catholic Church in England, Ecclesia Anglicana, rooted in the ancient Celtic Church planted in
the first century, upon the rock of our
faith, our Lord Jesus Christ.
While
we celebrate our heritage, we also embrace our mission to express our commitment to Christ through the richness
of historical Anglo-Catholic worship, the passing on of the “faith once
delivered to the saints” received from Christ himself, and by sharing in Christ's work of reconciliation and healing in
the world. That reconciliation is both individual and corporate; transforming the
lives of individuals and also pursuing the opportunity for traditional
Anglicans to be restored to full communion with
the Catholic Church. Our patron, St. Augustine of Canterbury is
reflective of that unity initially achieved with Ecclesia Anglicana under his leadership in the 5th
century.
Currently,
the community of St. Augustine of Canterbury worships
at the Christian Healing Center in Vista, California.
If you are looking for a church home in the North San Diego County area, a church that
offers God's love and reconciliation with and in the Anglo-Catholic tradition we
invite you be a part of our journey in faith.
We offer this site to provide you information about St. Augustine of Canterbury Church and its community. We hope it will be helpful in your search for a home to worship our Lord
Jesus Christ. Please explore this site, join us
for worship, and contact us if you have questions.
