Catholic Social Teaching

This month, we're diving into the Catholic Social Teaching principle Call to Family, Community, and Participation. As our parish school year is underway and we continue to settle into our new building, we want to remember that we are one St. Austin community - church AND school. 

As Catholics, we believe that we all have a right and a duty to participate in our parish community and in society at large. Together we seek to promote the common good and well-being of all, especially the poor and vulnerable. 

"We are one body, individually members one of  another."  ~  Romans 12:4-8

Looking for ways to get involved or build community at St. Austin? Here are just a few ideas:

• Sing and say the responses at Mass.

• Greet the people sitting next to you at Mass and introduce yourself.

• ​​​​​Check out St. Austin's many ministries and learn about one or two to get involved in. We have ministries that serve during Mass, grow spiritually together, help with religious education for children or adults, support our school, serve people in need, advocate for justice, and more!
