About us
The spirit of the Lord is upon me;
He has appointed me to preach Good News to the poor;
he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted
and to announce that captives shall be released and the blind shall see that the downtrodden shall be feed from their oppressors,
and that god is read to give blessings to all who come to him.
Luke 4:18-19
In 1992, after many years of financial struggle and declining membership, the individual leaderships from five North St. Louis Parishes came together to lay the plans for a new, merged parish.After extensive discussion, prayer and deliberation, Saint Augustine Parish was formed from the five original parishes of St. Barbara, St. Rose of Lima, St. Edward the King, St. Mark the Evangelist and Notre Dame of Lourdes (Wellston). Thus, a new era in Catholic parish life began on the North Side of St. Louis. Under the spiritual leadership and administration of its only Pastor, Monsignor Robert J. "Fr. Bob" Gettinger, St. Augustine Parish has continued to serve the spiritual, physical and social needs of the people of its parish and the community. We focus our time, talents and treasures on five ministries, Evangelization, Liturgy, Education, Christian Service and Administration/Finance. Thus, we are ever mindful in all of our celebrations, whether they are joyous, sorrowful or glorious, that God created us in His image and we are good!
