Weekly Meditations from St. Teresa of Calcutta
"A life not lived for others is a life not lived."
"Everybody today seems to be in a hurry. No one has any time to give to others: Children to their parents; parents to their children; spouses to each other"
"Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them."

WELCOME BACK TO ST. AUGUSTINE'SA Word from the Pastor
In light of the updated health guidelines by the CDC, the Governor and the Rhode Island Department of Health, the following changes are in effect:
Indoor seating capacity is increased from 80% to 100% beginning Friday, May 21, 2021.
Fully vaccinated parishioners and church visitors are no longer required to wear a face mask indoors or outdoors
Those who are not fully vaccinated should continue to wear a face mask indoors.
Effective the weekend of June 5 & 6, 2021, Bishop Tobin has re-instated the obligation to attend Sunday Mass.
Daily Masses are offered at 7 AM (Monday thru Friday), Saturday at 8 AM (preceded by the praying of the Rosary at 7:30 AM). Masses are celebrated at 5 PM Saturday and 7 AM, 9:30 AM, 11:30 AM and 5:30 PM on Sunday.
- All doors of the church are open for entering and exiting.
- Holy water fonts are now full.
- A sign of peace can now be exchanged.
- The procession with the offertory (the gifts of bread & wine) has been restored. If it is your Mass intention, please feel free to bring the gifts up to the priest at the time of the offertory.
- All bathrooms are open and available for use.
- Holy Communion will be distributed in the CENTER and SIDE aisles at the usual time. The priests and the Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion will be sanitizing before, during (if necessary) and after the distribution of Holy Communion. Those parishioners may come up, pew by pew, to receive Holy Communion as usual.
- Anyone with underlying health conditions or anyone manifesting symptoms of illness is advised NOT to attend the public celebration of Mass.
I appreciate your patience, prudence and flexibility. Thank you to EVERYONE who has returned to Mass and has been so adherent to the recommended guidelines. I will provide you any additional pertinent information as it is received. Thank you for all your support as we navigate this new normal, in faith and hope, together!
