CALLING ALL CONVERTS

Attend Daily Mass


 

Do you sometimes wonder what you are going to do during the day? Have you ended your day feeling that you really did not accomplish much? Perhaps you have time on your hands?  Have you asked yourself: how can I make a difference in the lives of family, friends, strangers, even the world? Well, have you ever thought about attending Mass daily or a few times a week? If you think about it, there is no better way to spend part of your day; no better way to praise God; no better place to pray for yourself or anyone for whatever intentions, including your own! Join fellow parishioners, along with people who work in the area, in adoring, praising and petitioning God in his house and at the table of the Lord. Here at St. Augustine’s, we have two daily Masses at 6:30 and 8:30 AM. Give it some thought.

“To fall in love with God
is the greatest romance;
to seek him the greatest adventure;
to find him, the greatest human achievement.”

As I am sure you might have noticed, our beautiful new Stations of the Cross have been installed inside the church. We are awaiting the installation of the Cross with the Station number for each of them.  Contemporary artist Leonard Porter's award-winning, oil-on-canvas "14 Stations of the Cross," won the 2011 Merit Design Award from the American Institute of Architects' Interfaith Forum on Religion, Art and Architecture. John Varriano, writing in Sacred Architecture (Issue 20 2011), said Porter's Stations "breathe new life into a seemingly forgotten idiom, and do so with a unique sense of thoughtful and spirited grandeur."
 
There are still a few Stations available to be memorialized for a donation of $2,000.  Please call the office if you are interested.

Our Lady of Fatima will visit YOU!  Members of the Legion of Mary will bring a parish statue of Our Lady of Fatima to your home and they will pray the rosary with you.  Our Lady will stay with you for one week.  Spending time with our Lady in your home, praying the rosary is filled with many blessings for you and your family.  To schedule a visit, please call Patty Barbera at (914) 310-0558. 

WeShare (formerly Parish Pay) is an alternative means of support for St. Augustine Parish instead of using envelopes.  In lieu of weekly collections, the WeShare program will collect monthly contributions via your checking, saving, or credit card account.  There is NO cost to you to participate in the program.
 

How do I enroll? 
To safeguard your personal information, enrollment can be done directly at the WeShare website: https://staugny.churchgiving.com or
by calling
WeShare Customer Care at 1-800-950-9952. 
The process takes less than 5 minutes.

 
If you have already signed up for WeShare and you do not wish to receive the weekly donation envelopes, please notify the Parish Office.
 
For those parishioners who make their donations through WeShare, please know that the “donation slip” that can be put into the collection basket may be found on our website (www.StAugNY.org) under the Donate/WeShare tab on thIs page (Home Page), or on your donation page at the WeShare site.
