Communal Reconciliation
An Advent Communal Reconciliation Service will be
held on Monday, December 15 at 7:00 pm in St.
Augustine Church. Six to eight priests will be
available to hear confessions. Reconciliation is the
perfect way to prepare for Christmas. Is there
someone who has been away from the sacrament
for a while who you should invite?...

RCIA
WELCOME to the men and women who were
received into the order of catechumens during the
10:30 Mass on November 30, the First Sunday of
Advent. In the months to come they will prepare for
their initiation into the Christian faith by Baptism,
Confirmation and Eucharist.
We also greet those who are already one with us by
Baptism and now wish to complete their Christian
initiation through Confirmation and Eucharist or to be
received into the full communion of the Catholic
Church.
The catechumens from St. Augustine are Justin
Lance, Lisa Swain and Ashley Willig. Our candidates
are Tami Howell, David Humphrey and Chris White.
Preschool News!
The preschool is thriving and doing well! We
have many events in December that our
children will be enjoying and participating in.
The annual Food Drive was a wonderful success
and the children enjoyed bringing in food items
and learning about giving to others. Our
Preschool Feast was November 26th and each
classroom contributed a special food or craft
that they have created. Our annual Christmas
Program is scheduled for December 5th. Our
Toddlers and Preschoolers share the stage as
they dazzle the audience with Christmas carols!
The month of December will be brimming with
Christmas spirit as the children learn about St.
Nicholas, Santa Lucia, Los Posadas and of
course our Lords birthday.
