Welcome to St Augustine's

The Parish Church of North Town, Aldershot

A place of prayer, peace and friendship. A church at the heart of our community, with a welcome for everyone.

Whether you have worshipped in church all your life, are exploring the Christian faith, or simply want somewhere peaceful to sit and reflect, you will always find a warm welcome at St Augustine's.

We are a friendly parish church in the Anglo-Catholic tradition of the Church of England. Our faith is centred on Jesus Christ, and we seek to share His love through worship, prayer, friendship and service to the people of North Town.

You don't have to be a regular churchgoer to come through our doors. Whoever you are, and whatever brings you here, you are welcome.

Come and Worship With Us

At the heart of our church life is the Mass (Holy Eucharist), where we gather to give thanks to God, hear His Word, receive His grace and grow together in faith.

Our worship follows the rich Catholic tradition of the Church of England, with a sense of reverence, beauty and prayer.

Our regular services

• Sunday at 10.00am – Sung Mass

• Wednesday at 10.00am – Said Mass

If you have never been to Mass before, please don't worry. You are welcome to come along, sit wherever you feel comfortable and simply take part as much or as little as you wish.

There is no need to book or let us know you are coming. Just turn up. We would love to see you.

Open Church – A Little Peace in a Busy World

Life can be busy, complicated and sometimes lonely. At St Augustine's, we believe everyone should have somewhere they can find a little peace, friendship or simply a moment to themselves.

That is why we open our church during the week, not just for services but for anyone who would like to visit.

Our Open Church times

• Wednesday: 10.30am – 12 noon

• Friday: 10.00am – 2.00pm

You might want to light a candle, say a prayer, sit quietly with your thoughts, admire our beautiful church or enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and a friendly conversation.

You don't have to be religious, and nobody will expect anything of you.

Come for five minutes or stay a little longer. The door is open, and so is our welcome.

A Church for the Whole Community

St Augustine's has been part of North Town for more than a century, sharing in the joys, challenges and everyday lives of the people who live here.

We believe the Church is about much more than what happens on a Sunday morning. It is about friendship, compassion, helping one another and making a positive difference in our community.

Through our church, hall facilities, social activities and opportunities for prayer and reflection, we seek to be a place where people feel valued, supported and connected.

Whether you are looking for companionship, interested in the Christian faith or simply curious about our church, there is a place for you here.

Discover Faith and Grow With Us

Perhaps you have questions about God, Christianity or the meaning of life. Perhaps you have been away from church for some time and are thinking about returning.

At St Augustine's, we believe faith is a journey, and everyone is at a different point along the way.

There are opportunities to explore the Bible, discover more about the Catholic tradition of the Church of England, develop a life of prayer and deepen your relationship with Jesus Christ.

You do not need to have all the answers. Questions, doubts and curiosity are welcome.

Be Part of Something

A church is not simply a building. It is a community of people who care for one another and work together.

There are many ways to become involved at St Augustine's, from helping at Open Church and welcoming visitors to supporting our activities, caring for our buildings and grounds, or simply offering someone a little time and friendship.

You don't need special skills or a great deal of spare time. Sometimes even an hour can make a real difference.

If you would like to help, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Our Faith and Mission

St Augustine's stands within the Catholic tradition of the Church of England and is part of the Diocese of Guildford.

Our mission is:

"To bring people to a personal love and knowledge of Jesus Christ through its sacramental life and daily witness."

We seek to live out that mission not only through the celebration of the Mass and the life of prayer, but also through kindness, hospitality and service to our neighbours.

We believe that the love of Christ is something to be shared every day of the week.

We Look Forward to Welcoming You

Whether you come to worship, to pray, to find a little peace or simply to meet someone for a chat, we hope you will find St Augustine's a place where you feel at home.
