Special Events

Sunday, August 30, 2026

Our Parish Picnic happens around August every year and is a great time to get to know your fellow parishioners. You won’t want to miss this fun event!

In honor of St. Francis of Assisi, we invite everyone to bring their animal friends to the Blessing of the Animals Celebration. This event is for those of us that share our lives with animals, for the animal companions who are serving us and have served us by greatly enriching our lives. This year’s event will take place on Sunday, October 4, 2026. 2:00 pm

The theme of this year’s stewardship campaign is “PLENTY GOOD ROOM”

In God’s house there is always room for more: more ideas, more people, more ways to share, more stories to tell. And in the world that God created, there is more needed: more love, more connection, more peace, more creativity. Plenty Good Room reminds us that there is always room in God’s house; we just need to make ourselves at home and invite others to join us. The ways we steward our relationships, resources, and responses to grow ministry and serve our neighbors are the ways we connect our gratitude to our generosity. There’s Plenty Good Room in God’s House; pull up a chair and sit down.

On Sunday, November 1st, the St. Augustine’s community will gather to commemorate the saints in our lives and to celebrate the shared abundance of this Stewardship Season. Brunch will be prepared and served by the Vestry and Stewardship Committee.

All are welcome!
