It was a gold medal spectacle! We survived the heat and we beat the rain all while having
a great time with our fellow team mates - our parishioners. A special thanks goes out to
all those who attended our parish picnic - St. Augustine 'Nations of Gold.' We hope you
had a great time. As with every year, our picnic would not have come together the way it
did without all the volunteers who helped on the day of. From the people who setup,
cooked and served the food, organized the booths, conducted the games, and helped us tear down -thank you. We are a wonderful Parish because of you. A note of great thanks goes to the picnic
committee. This amazing group met from May until August in order to organize and plan this year's
