It won't be long before we'll be in our new Ministry & Education Center at the corner of 21st and Guadalupe. We ask that you pray with us for the continued success of our development project and for the safety of all those involved in the project.

and entrusts them with the very future of his mission,

Children's Liturgy of the Word (CLW)
-
At St. Austin's 8:45 a.m. Mass we invite all children, from 3 years of age to those who've not yet made their First Communion, to CLW. It is a great time for the children of St. Austin to learn about the Mass, hear the Gospel readings, and create their own age-appropriate prayers. During different liturgical times through the year we have processions for the children to participate in too! Learn more about Children's Liturgy of the Word (currently under construction).

Pope Francis on the Role of Family in Faith Formation
-
“Family catechesis ensures the Gospel message is the lived experience of the entire family. As Pope Francis reminds us, “the family is not merely the sum of persons belonging to it, but a ‘community of persons.' And a community is more than the sum total of persons that belong to it. It is the place where one learns to love, it is the natural centre of human life. It is made up of faces, of people who love, dialogue, make self-sacrifices for one another and defend life, especially of the most vulnerable and the weakest.”
Address to Participants in the Plenary Assembly of the Pontifical Council for the Family, 2013
