First parish of the diocese, Hamilton 1827

 

St. Augustine Church, built 1864
Our  parish of St Augustine’s is the Mother Parish of the Diocese of Hamilton. In 1827, Fr. James Campion built a small wooden chapel in Dundas, marking the beginning of  St. Augustine’s Parish. The first baptism recorded in our register is August 06, 1827, and since then a vibrant community of faith has called St. Augustine’s  home to this very day.

Grand Delusion

Mass readings for the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time:Sirach 35.15-17, 20-22 Psalm 34.1-2, 16-17, 18-22 2 Timothy 4.6-8, 16-18 Luke 6.12-19 Last week our readings focussed on both the need for prayer in difficult times, but also the difficulty of prayer for us – praying effectively, properly, is hard work.

We see […]

A Canadian Thanksgiving

Mass readings for the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time:2 Kings 5.14-17 Psalm 98.1-4 2 Timothy 2.8-13 Luke 17.11-19 I’m sure I was not the only person, the only preacher, struck by the tremendous coincidence of our gospel reading for this Sunday of the Thanksgiving weekend.
