Prayer Groups

Liturgy of the Hours is the “official” prayer of the Catholic Church and is prayed at St. Augustine’s every Saturday at 8:00am in the Church. This prayer is prayed all over the world, so we join in this prayer to fulfill the request of St. Paul to “pray unceasingly”. Pope John Paul II has strongly encouraged all the faithful to pray this prayer. Please join us.
