 Welcome to St Augustine's Catholic Parish-Wominjeka

 

St Augustine's sits on the traditional Kulin Nation country of the Wurundjeri People, to whom we pay our respects. 

Situated in Docklands/Melbourne CBD, this charming bluestone church, surrounded by coffee culture and a train station gateway to the country-side, St Augustine's provides a mini oasis for city-dwellers, office workers and shoppers. 

Initiated in 1867, this heritage-listed church and  garden provides a peaceful 'time-out' for picknickers, dog-walkers and tourists alike.

Next to the former West Melbourne police station (complete with former cell blocks), the land also houses a one-time 19th century school house: a quaint little cottage you'll find at the end of the garden, now converted into a retreat and small conference centre.

Inside the church, there is a lot of 'personal' history, un-seen by the naked eye, where generations of families have been married and baptised. 

Come, and sit a while.

PARISH MEETING


Monsignor Stuart Hall invites parishioners to attend a Parish Consultative Meeting on Sunday, 10th December 2023.

 
These meetings will take place IMMEDIATELY after the 10.30 and 8pm Masses and will go for 1 hour (no longer).
The purpose of the meeting is to listen to the voice of parishioners, and to highlight the maintenance and heritage issues that needs to be address.
 
Monsignor Stuart would anticipate that following these meetings, other meetings will take place that will identify parishioners who are able to join a ‘Steering Committee’ to assist him in addressing the pastoral needs and maintenance requirements.
