A prayer for our parish:
Almighty and ever living God, ruler of all things in heaven and earth, hear our prayers for this parish family. Strengthen the faithful, arouse the careless, and restore the penitent. Grant us all things necessary for our common life, and bring us all to be of one heart and mind within your holy Church; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Mission Sunday Offering for March will benefit All Souls Episcopal mission located in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans. All Souls has a special connection with St. Augustine's established during a March 2009 Diocesan work mission to New Orleans. Eight St. Augustine's parishioners took part in this work mission. The work mission began with a celebration of Eucharist at All Souls. The worship at All souls was an uplifting spiritual event - a major highlight of the NOLA work mission. Eucharist at All Souls was followed by a tour of the Lower Ninth Ward led by a parishioner. The tour provided an excellent seminar on the African American history, sociology and politics of the Lower Ninth. All Souls, with a predominatedly African American congregation, was estblished in 2006 as an outgrowth of post-Katrina assistance to people in the Lower Ninth. The congregation initialy met in an auto repair garage. The congregation now occupies an abandoned Walgreen's drugstore. All Souls carries the Gospel to their community through a wide range of social outreach.

Income from the endowment fund matches the Mission Sunday offerings up to a total of $500.
