Sunday Worship Services
at 8:00 a.m. & 10:30 a.m.
Saint Augustine's identifies itself as an "open church." By this we mean that all persons are welcome to come and be part of this community wherever they are in their spiritual journey. We seek to be a safe place for skeptics and doubters as well as for convicted believers.
We are an inclusive church in which people from many backgrounds have found common ground. We are a diverse community which discovered in God a oneness greater in significance than our differences. We have come to know that our variety, in truth, refects the divine comprehensiveness of the God of all created things.

Michael Bell's Ordination to the Diaconate
by Fr. Mark D. Stuart
On Saturday June 12th 2010 Michael Bell was ordained to the Diaconate at St. John's Cathedral along with six other candidates from the diocese. The Cathedral was full to capacity with friends, families, and well-wishers for the festive occasion. A large group from St. Augustine's was present to show support and to honor Michael on that important day. Bishop Bruno presided and preached and the new suffragan bishops of the diocese, Bishop Mary Glasspool and Bishop Diane Jardine Bruce performed the ordinations and celebrated the Holy Eucharist. It was a glorious event and a wonderful celebration. The following day, Sunday June 13th was Michael's first Sunday as a Deacon and he assumed that new liturgical role at both the 8am and 10:30am Services at St. Augustine's. At the later Service Michael was presented with a gift of an engraved Book of Common Prayer and a "purse" of gifts from parishioners and he addressed the congregation.
Photos from that day are posted on the parish web site.
St. A's Men's Retreat: My Reflections
by Caldwell Williams
I hasten to add that evidence of the Spirit of our Savior at work among us throughout the retreat, relationships that had emerged as conflicts were healed as individual participants discovered one's own empirical lesson in what first appeared to be another's "wrong approach." Greater bonding and a more cohesive community are outcomes to look for among St. A's men. MORE…
Women's Retreat, May 14-16, 2010
by Judy Peace
Peacocks provided background noise. Fog swirled in creating a dense, cloud like atmosphere. Lush gardens invited walks and reflection on this year's theme, "Creating Your Path to the Spirit". The Mary and Joseph Retreat Center in Palos Verdes was an evocative place to be.

Interim Rector's Report
by Father Mark Stuart
Ever since Easter St. Augustine's has remained a very busy place!
The Pentecost Day celebration was a wonderful occasion with a Children's Mass and baptism followed by the parish BBQ and "bounce house" for the kids. We joined in the joy of our seminarian, Michael Bell, being ordained at St. John's Cathedral and welcomed him in his new status as Deacon in our liturgies the following day. MORE…
Walking the Camino de Santiago
by Deacon Katie
During the Middle Ages, pilgrimage to a holy site was considered the single greatest adventure a person could have (with the exception of warfare). And for Christians from the West, there were three pilgrimages considered the most important: Jerusalem, Rome, and Santiago de Compostela in Spain. During June, I had opportunity to take my own pilgrimage to Santiago
