Why belong here
St. Augustine's offers the full rhythm of Catholic sacramental life in a quiet, rural North Country setting — weekly Sunday Mass, weekday Masses shared with the linked parishes, Confession before Masses or by request, and preparation for Baptism, Marriage, and the Anointing of the Sick. It is one of four linked country parishes (with St. Mary's in Brushton, St. Ann's in St. Regis Falls, and Holy Cross in Hopkinton) that worship together as one Catholic community under Father Kris C. Lauzon and Deacon Lee M. Trudeau. For families, there is a Religious Education Program (registration forms are available from the parish office) and the parish community provides a steady, personal welcome typical of small Adirondack-Frontier Catholic parishes.
