Blessed Lord, who hast caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning; Grant that we may in such wise hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that by patience, and comfort of thy holy Word, we may embrace, and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which thou hast given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ.

If you are between grades 6th-12th, come and join us Tuesdays from 6:30pm to 8:00pm for food, fun, and fellowship. Right now we are discussing the readings for each following Sunday, generally followed by a game or two. Weather permitting, we will hold our discussions outside around the firepit, so dress warmly. We will serve some light snacks as well as try to have dinner once a month. Please join us whenever you can, and feel free to bring friends!

Our Pastor recently reiterated the
vision and direction of our parish. We were reminded that our faith
community joined the Anglican Church of America (ACA) principally
"because of ACA’s participation in returning into full communion with
the Catholic Church and assisting the people of ACA parishes who wish to
do so when the Anglican Ordinariate is officially established in the
United States (as it has already been done in England)." After 500
long years, we are blessed to receive what we have prayed for - the
opportunity to embark upon a journey that will restore the One, Holy,
Catholic and Apostolic Church - the Body of Christ - "I have given
them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one, I
in them and you in me, that they may be brought to complete unity."
Jn 17:22-23.
In keeping with this vision, the founding members
and parish leaders (appointed on Dec 19, 2010) are moving forward with a
plan of action that reflects this theological path. A letter of intent
was sent to the Most Eminent Donald Cardinal Wuerl, Archbishop of
Washington, the prelate appointed by the Holy Father to receive letters
from parties interested in the Ordinariate, to evaluate the potential
and, God willing, to organize the Ordinariate in the United States.
Although corporately the parish is on this road, the parish leadership
realizes "that not all associated with St. Augustine’s are yet
comfortable with that direction. [We] continue to stress that all are
welcome on the journey as individuals and all are welcome to be part of
the parish life, yet know that, as a parish, the direction is set."
Everyone is encouraged to become informed by participating in the Sunday
forum or having a discussion with one of the clergy.
