The big day is here! On Saturday, 28 August 2010, nearly two years after the devastation of Hurricane Ike, on the feast day of St. Augustine, we will dedicate the rebuilt Parish Hall and the Education Wing.
At St. Augustine, we take very seriously the words from the Letter to the Hebrews: "Let mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it." Heb. 13: 1-2.
Come and celebrate with us. Celebrate the feast day of our patron Saint, the beautiful new buildings, and the fact that Jesus of Nazareth died for you and for me, and He was raised from the dead. We are a Resurrection people!
Let us pray: Lord God, the light of the minds that know you, the life of the souls that love you, and the strength of the hearts that serve you: Help us, following the example of your servant Augustine of Hippo, so to know you that we may truly love you, and so to love you that we may fully serve you, whom to serve is perfect freedom; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
Your servant in Christ,
Fr. Chester J. Makowski+
