St. Augustine To Remain Secondary Mission Church With St. Bibiana
On September 22, 2016, Father Joe Dougherty of St. Augustine Church, Austin, Pennsylvania, received word that the proposed changes in the Pastoral Planning Process announced on April 13, 2016, had been withdrawn and that St. Augustine would remain a Secondary Mission Church aligned with St. Bibiana, Galeton.
On April 13, 2016, the Pastoral Planning Process had announced that St. Augustine would no longer be a mission church and would become a "secondary church" of St. Eulalia Parish of Coudersport; but, parishioners would still have access to their original church buildings for weddings, funerals and select liturgies such as their annual feast day. Under this plan, St. Augustine could have possibly been closed.
During a comment period, many parishioners voiced their objection to this change.
Bishop Persico of the Erie Diocese would travel to Austin to conduct mass, bless the new church sign purchased by Stan Swank, and break bread with the parishioners.
He listened to our prayers.
The proposed changes were withdrawn.
Mass at St. Augustine with remain:
- 9:00 A.M. on Thursdays
- 4:30 P.M. on Saturdays
