Welcome to Our Church!
Welcome to Our Church!
Welcome to St Augustine's, a Catholic Parish in the centre of Darlington. No matter who you are, you are welcome in our parish! We are here to give glory to God through prayer, song, and action. We are blessed to have a beautiful church where we gather most days, particularly on Sunday, to listen to the Word of God and to celebrate the sacraments. God calls us to share our faith with others which we do through preaching, faith formation and sacramental preparation. We also share our faith by being here for those in need and accompanying those who struggle. Through a variety of social events, and making space for everyone, our community becomes a growing, caring and expanding family. You are welcome to join us!
Happy Easter!
Χριστὸς ἀνέστη! (Christos anesti) "Christ has risen!" This is an Easter Greeting among the Greek Orthodox to which the reply is Aληθώς ανέστη (Alithos anesti) "He has risen, indeed."
The greeting conveys the shared joy Christians experience after having celebrated the Paschal Triduum, having walked with Jesus from the supper, to the garden, to the courtrooms, to the hill of execution, to the tomb and finally to his resurrection.
During our Easter celebrations in our two parishes there were seven baptisms, twelve people received into full communion with the Catholic Church, twenty-eight confirmations, and thirty-three people who received Holy Communion for the first time. The communion of our Christian community has been enlarged and strengthened. All of those who received sacraments have been through our catechetical programmes and we give thanks to those who have handed on faith in this way.

Baptism Catechesis
Our next session of Baptism Catechesis will be on Wednesday 13th May, 6:30-8:30pm.
Our Vigil began at the Easter fire where we blessed and lit the Paschal candle.
An Easter People following the Christ, the Light of the World
Singing the Exultet, an ancient Easter hymn, in a darkened church lit only by the shared flame from the Paschal Candle after which we reread the Hebrew Scriptures in the light of the resurrection of Jesus.
Baptismal candidates made their Baptismal Promises, professing faith in the resurrection of Jesus and in the Holy Trinity and we all renewed our own baptismal profession of faith.
There were four Baptisms during our Easter Vigil.
Twelve adults were received into full communion with the Catholic Church and eighteen people were confirmed.
