Show Details
The church started in 1887 in the French-Canadian community. The first church building was started in 1888. That building is now St. Augustine's School.
The new St. Augustine's church, built of Hallowell granite in 1917, sits on land that was purchased from the Edwards Manufacturing Company, coupled with an adjacent lot donated to the church by the mill.
