Our Mission
As the Mother Church of Black Catholics in the Nation’s Capital, St. Augustine Roman Catholic Church is called to witness our faith in the Living God, His Son, and the Holy Spirit while preserving our Black Catholic Heritage. We are a strong community of believers who continues in the tradition in which it was founded: to advance the education of our children; lead ALL people to a personal and life-changing encounter with Christ through the proclamation of the Gospel, celebration of the sacraments, prayer, and service; and promote the spiritual, economic, and social development of all people.
We must take action to confront our fears, our weaknesses, and our battle with sin. Now is the time to invest in the One who has invested everything in us! . . . Corrupt and dishonest politicians and unjust leaders are NOT the problem. However, professed Christians who claim that all power is in Christ hands but then refuse to wake up, step up and move out – now THAT’S the problem!
