The members of the parish value the Sacraments as the instruments of God's Grace.  If you are about to receive one of these Sacraments for the first time or if you simply want to know more about these sources of God's help, click on The Sacraments at the top of the page and then choose the Sacrament you are interested in learning about.

We value and support the administration of the parish by the Augustinians.  We show this pride on our web site by placing the Augustinian logo at the top of every page in the site,  You can learn much more about the Augustinians, about St Augustine himself and about other Augustinian saints by clicking on The Augustinians button above.
