A Message from our Pastor A message from our Pastoral Team

We are a Roman Catholic Community desiring to be God's light in the world by our witness, love and worship.

Welcome to our Parish Website

Our diocese received a wonderful Christmas gift -- a new bishop has been appointed! His episcopal ordination will take place on Thursday March 25 @ 7:00 pm at St. Patrick's Church in Saskatoon.

Thought for the week: When you get to your wit's end, you'll find God lives there...

Preparing our hearts

Gospel for Sunday March 14, 2010 -- Luke 15:1-3, 11-32 This well-known story is not really about how bad/prodigal the son is, but rather about how excessive and extravagant (‘prodigal”) the father is with his love, mercy and reconciliation. The father is the true “spender” here, sparing no cost or labour to celebrate the son’s homecoming. The reluctance of the elder son makes the father seem all the more extravagant as he goes out to plead with the elder son who thinks of himself as a slave.

Some questions to ponder:

A Message from our Pastoral Team

Whether you are a new parishioner, a new resident to our community of Humboldt, or simply wondering about joining a church, we extend a warm welcome. Thank you for making the effort to get to know our faith community of St. Augustine!
 

Parish Offering and Diocesan Support

 The financial support of St. Augustine's parish by parishioners makes possible the programs, faith education opportunities and services available to all parishioners.

Participating in the work of the Lord – in the work of the church – is a practice that must be established early in life. Waiting for the day when one “has enough and can now afford to share,” interestingly, never arrives. God deserves God's portion – in fact, it all belongs to God. We are merely called to be good stewards of God’s generous gifts.

Let the little children come ...



Let the little children come to me and do not stop them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these. (Mark 10:14)

For Baptism, please contact Sr. Loretta at the Parish Office.

Test your knowledge about St. Paul

Pope Benedict proclaimed a Jubilee Year of St. Paul to commemorate  the 2,000th anniversary of Paul’s birth, from June 29, 2008 on the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul to June 29, 2009.

St. Paul’s letters are the oldest words in the New Testament and have given sound theological and spiritual foundations to our Christian faith (Gospels were written much later);
