WELCOME
St. Augustine is a small, yet strong parish in the farming communities of Germantown, Farmersville, New Lebanon and surrounding areas.
We are a family….one mass, one mission, one goal to serve God and help others. When you join the St. Augustine parish you are immediately adopted by this faith community; you are welcomed into this family.
As a parishioner you will always be supported in all your endeavors. Involvement in the parish only increases your blessings of friendship, support, and love!

Letter from Archbishop Schnurr
ST. AUGUSTINE PARISH NEWS
Help our elders. In good times and bad, senior Catholic sisters, brothers, and religious order priests have dedicated themselves to service and acts of mercy. Today, they pray for an aching world. Yet years of serving for little or no pay have left their religious communities without enough retirement savings. Your gift to the Retirement Fund for Religious helps provide medications, nursing care, and other necessities. Please be generous.
