“BOX TOPS NEWS”

Please continue to save any box tops that you may find on many school supplies and food items that you purchase and use on a daily basis.

There is a box in the vestibule of church where you can place the box tops. There are also collection sheets. Just take one, tape the box tops to it and return it back to the box.

Thank you to all the families who were supporters of this program. This past year, the families of St Augustine Parish collected almost $2,400.00 worth of box tops!

 Blessing and Welcome
from Our Pastor
Monsignor Hilary Franco


God has blessed us with loving parishioners, a beautiful church and grounds, and the desire to share it all with you.

Won't you join us in our blessings?

Come, look at the beautiful vistas that we see every day. Read about our patron Saint Augustine, and let his teachings help you deal with life's many dilemmas.

Here's a wonderful idea. Why not come and visit us? Many make a special trip to see and pray at our magnificent outdoor Stations of the Cross. We'll make you feel welcome. Come
to Eagle Park and let us share Christ's love with you.
