Holy Week Announcement:
It is with sadness that we announce Holy Week and Easter Masses will not be celebrated as a congregation this year. Bishop Stika decreed that there will be no public gatherings. Many churches in our diocese will be live streaming the Masses. St. Augustine will not live stream Mass and Fr. Dowling will celebrate Masses in private.
 
Holy Week Mass Streaming Schedule:
As soon as we receive a schedule of diocesan Masses to be live streamed we will publish links on our website.
 
Rite of Christian Initiation:
Rite of Christian Initiation and reception into Full Communion will be postponed and rescheduled once restrictions are lifted.
 
Confession:
Anyone interested in receiving the sacrament of reconciliation, please contact Fr. Dowling at 1-865-773-5996 to schedule an appointment.
 
Anointing of the Sick:
For those who are extremely ill, please call Fr. Dowling (number above).
 
Sanctuary is Open:
The main sanctuary of St. Augustine will remain open for those who would like to stop in and pray.
 
Parishioner Needs:
We are in the process of contacting parishioners via telephone to inquire how everyone is doing. If you have any immediate needs, please call Fr. Dowling or the parish office (423-886-3424).
