History
St. Augustine Parish traces its roots to the 1870s, with its golden jubilee bell commemorating fifty years from October 1874 to October 1924. The present simple brick church was built in Romanesque Revival style by German-American parishioners, with John V. King as architect and George Doane McCarthy as general contractor. Its stained-glass windows were fabricated by Franz Meyer, and in 1923 the church received four bells from Baltimore as well as a 3,800-pound "Saint Augustine's Jubilee Bell." Over the decades the parish has served a diverse population and is now also the Newark home of Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity.
