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!
All Souls
November is the month in which we remember our beloved dead. On 3rd November, the Feast of All Souls, our choir sang the Faure Requiem and we prayed for those whose funerals we have celebrated in the last year and those whose names were written in our Book of Remembrance. This coming Sunday we will pray for those who courageously lost their lives in the World Wars of the twentieth century, fighting totalitarian regimes and the evils of fascism.
