The Church of St Augustine of Canterbury, Weymouth
St Augustine’s Church was the first Roman Catholic Church to be built in Weymouth after the Catholic Emancipation. It was dedicated on 22nd October 1835.
It is a jewel of a Church, built in the Georgian style and today is Grade II listed.
There is a parish hall behind the Church, where parishioners meet for refreshments after the 11.00 Mass on Sundays. At other times it is very busy as a venue for the many functions organised by parishioners and the local community, including social functions.
The Parish Priest is Fr Stephen Geddes who joined us in Summer 2007.
In April 2008, the Parishes of Weymouth were formally united into one Parish - Our Lady Star of the Sea.
Fr Geddes was appointed Parish Priest of the new parish.
This photograph was taken on Sunday 13th May 2012 just after 9 am Mass. The main altar had already removed three weeks previously to St Joseph's and the Tabernacle had been moved to the left hand (North) side of the Church.
