| About Our Church In Brief |
|
The Name Changed, The Location Changed, But the Traditions Remained!
St. Augustine Parish - Memphis was created at 903 Walker for area "colored" Catholics, by Bishop Adrian of Nashville in 1937, and placed under the pastoral direction of the Franciscan Friars of St. Louis and Rev. Bertrand Koch.
|
The parish name and location was changed to St. Thomas Parish, Trigg and Lauderdale, in the mid-1960's. At that time, the church membership was active in the Civil Rights Movement and under the leadership of the late Archbishop James Lyke.
The name of the parish changed back to St. Augustine in 1988, when it moved to its current location at 1169 Kerr Avenue, and continued in the care of the Franciscans. A marker was placed at the Trigg and Lauderdale site, June 24, 1998 in memory of Archbishop Lyke. |

St. Augustine parish was put under the pastoral care of the Paulist Fathers in September 2002 and a residence for Paulists, missioned in Memphis, was opened in 2003.
Caring for the community started under the Franciscans and continues with the commitment to social justice, under the leadership of the Paulist Pastor and Preacher, Father John J. Geaney, CSP.
With our 70 year history as a Black Catholic Church, supported by the 150 year social rights history of the Paulist Fathers, St. Augustine Catholic Church is primed to do more for the Lord and his people in 2008.
If you are a member of St. Augustine and you're not involved, please review the online descriptions of our Ministries, Committees and Councils. Talk to the leaders of the organizations and learn more about the groups' focus areas.
At St. Augustine there is something for everyone. Find that special something that you are passionate about and do it.
The foundation is laid. The opportunity is now. Join us, in 2008, as we journey with our Faith, in the tradition of our ancestors.
