St. Augustine Church - Elkridge, MD

Welcome to St. Augustine Church!

Before Urban Sprawl; before the Information Super Highway (or any kind of Super Highway for that matter); before the Space Race; before the Cold War, World Wars or even the Civil War, a community of Catholic Christians... a Church... St. Augustine Church... was ministering to the people of Elkridge, Maryland, from high on a hill on the Old Washington Road, the main pike between Baltimore and our nation's Capitol.

Since 1844, many saints, and not a few sinners, have worshipped Our Lord Jesus Christ in our Church. Most have toiled quietly to do His Work here on Earth, never asking anything but to make their community a little bit better for their having been a part of it. But one in particular, recognized by Holy Mother Church for canonization in 1977, was the pastor here from 1849 to 1851: Saint John Neumann.

This web site is intended to inform, educate, and if we are really good at web design, maybe even inspire our visitors. St. Augustine Catholic Church website will keep the Parishioners up to date with parish events and programs, as well as what is happening in the communities that St. Augustine Church serves. Periodically, articles will be added that will give useful information about the Sacraments, the Mass, the Church, and our Traditions. And on occasion, a message from the Pastor, an inspirational story, or a prayer or scripture will be posted.

We have set some high standards for this site. We hope we can meet them. Mostly though, we hope that you will find this site useful and informative.
