A Message From Fr. Bill Schooler: 

Greetings Saint Augustine Parishioners:

Thank you for your patience during my absence.  Skiing was great, and the weather at first was very cold.  But we had a good time together, and I'm anxious to begin my term as pastor (or more accurately administrator).  Being away gave me an opportunity to see the history of our parish on the website.  I pray that I can provide the leadership in these next few months to keep the spirit moving here.

Fr. Bill Schooler
