Happy Anniversary Saint Augustine!
Today, we celebrate 163 years of faith, family and fellowship. The Feast of the Holy Trinity centers on the three Divine Persons of God: God is the Father; God is the Son and God is the the Holy Spirit. In Father Pat's Sermon Notes, he recalls the resilience of our sisters and brothers in Christ when they leaned into the incomprehensible power of the Trinity.

Join us via our YouTube Channel for the livestream of the 12:30 p.m. Mass as we give gratitude for the many gifts the Holy Trinity bestows upon us.
We greatly appreciate those of you who have continued your financial support of the parish. A brief update on replacing the Heating and Air Conditioning in the Church: The required bids from three companies will be secured by the end of next week. Then we will submit them for review by the Archdiocese. Once that process is complete, we will choose a contractor the work should begin without delay. We anticipate the cost to be in the range of $250,000. We will update you on how you can support our fundraising efforts when we secure the contractor and final pricing.
In the meantime, we encourage you to send in your donations either by mail, text to donate, or Faith Direct. For more information, please click https://saintaugustine-dc.org/stewardship. Thank you for your patience and support!
Message from Our Local Shepherd
Cardinal Archbishop Wilton Gregory is urging all of us to receive the COVID-19 Vaccines at the earliest opportunity. He, and our pastor have been fully vaccinated and hope that we will do the same.
Thank you for doing all you to make the COVID 19 pandemic far behind us!

“You Go Into the Vineyard Too…” Matt 20:4
Is God calling you? Do you feel the good burn? Well, the Spirit of God is upon YOU! He wants to send you out on mission to consecrate the world. But first, He wants to equip you.
This summer—in partnership with the Washington Archdiocese Office of Catechesis—St. Augustine Parish will host a Faith Foundations Course as part of our ongoing Adult Faith Formation mission. You will encounter Christ in community through fellowship and sharing witness in small groups, and enkindle your personal relationship with Christ. The courses are approved for catechist certification in the Archdiocese, and are designed for you—disciple of Christ—to deepen your knowledge of the truths of the Catholic faith, and prepare you for your unique mission: to make Disciples.
Are you ready to answer the call? Please provide your information here so we can contact you. Thank you!
Congratulations Saint Augustine for Continuing our Legacy of Social Justice Impact!
Thank you from Saint Augustine’s Social Justice Advocacy Ministry to all who prayed for the action and logged onto the WIN Watch Party for Reservation 13 Developers. You made a difference. WIN was 85% of the total attendance at the disposition hearing.
Note that although the District Government’s call for proposals for the development only asked for some homes for those earning 50% of area median income (AMI), four out of five proposals had considerable numbers of deeply affordable units at or below 30% AMI! That is your effort already having made a big difference.
We apologize for the 300 person cap on the Zoom attendance. WIN did pay for 500 attendees but there was some glitch. I hope those that could not get into the Zoom Watch Party joined the fun on WIN’s Facebook page.
We will keep you updated with the rapidly developing situation at Reservation 13 but no one could doubt that our Parish contributed to this achievement. It has set us on the path to increased quantity and quality of affordable housing on public land.
Thanks be to God.
