Saint Augustine's is 'spiritual home' to many thousands of people, especially to the faith community which gathers daily and weekly for worship, community service and the joy of being together in Christ.

You, your family and your friends are very welcome here.

The faith community is like an extended family and there will always be a place for you! Sunday services are at 7.30am & 9 am.

We hope you bring your children for baptism and nurture in the love of God. We have something special to offer for every age group.

ABOUT OUR CHURCH BUILDING

Our Church building is home to a lively faith community.

Saint Augustine's was first consecrated in 1889, having been built by Mr. E.C.Merewether.

Its windows, furnishings and fabric represent the gifts, love and devotion of succeeding generations of the faith community here.

They remember the local heroes of war and peace, and so many beautiful people whose lives have sanctified St. Augustine's and contributed to the people of Merewether and Newcastle.

The windows include our patron saint, Augustine of Canterbury. A missionary monk, he was sent by Pope Gregory in 596 to pastor the Angles in Britain.

Gregory had seen the fair-haired British slaves in Rome and said they were 'not Angles but angels'.

Augustine became the first Archbishop of Canterbury.
