St Augustine's 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!

First Holy Communion

Our First Holy Communion and First Reconciliation programme begins again on Thursday 19th March. We pray for the children preparing. For the dates of all the sessions please see the First Communion page under "Sacraments".

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

Our programme for those preparing to come into the Catholic Church as Adults, or to receive sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Confirmation & Eucharist) as adults continues every Wednesday after the 7pm Mass (about 8:45pm) in the Simpson Room.

Baptism Catechesis

Our next session of Baptism Catechesis will be on Wednesday 13th May, 6:30-8:30pm.
