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.

But […]

Mass readings for the 5th Sunday of Easter:Acts 9.26-31 Psalm 22.25b-26, 27, 29, 30-31 1 John 3. 18-24 John 15.1-8 Today’s gospel is familiar, it’s about our connection to Christ, and to each other through him; and of the expectation that this will bear fruit. It seems so lovely! A romantic image evoking a sundrenched […]
