Two easy ways to support St. A's

Online giving allows you to make automatic monthly or special contributions to the Student Center via checking, savings, or credit card accounts. The ministries greatly benefit from the consistency of these gifts. There is NO COST to you for participation and sign-up steps are simple. Enhance the Student Center today by creating your online giving account at www.ParishPay.com (Note: There's no need to enter a username or password until Step3).

Another easy way to help the Student Center raise funds with just a click of your mouse is through GoodSearch, a search engine powered by Yahoo! that allows users to support their favorite charities each time they make an internet search. Visit www.GoodSearch.com, select St. Augustine Church as your charity and download the GoodSearch Toolbar to your browser. Then every time you search for something, you'll be helping your parish!


 

Parish Registration

Every Catholic should be registered as a member of a parish community. Since ours is a non-territorial parish, it is necessary to be registered and practicing in order to be married in the Catholic Church or to have one's baby baptized or to act as a Godparent.

Visit our parish office to complete a registration form in person or register online
