St Augustine Catholic Church — Local services in Town of Mamaroneck

Unfortunately, I feel it is my responsibility to share the experience I had during my wedding ceremony at Saint Augustine's Church. I am simply going to state the facts, to hopefully prevent this happening to the next couple getting married at this church.

Even though our rehearsal date was set almost a year prior to the wedding, and confirmed twice, Monsignor Kelly was not there the night of rehearsal, nor was anyone aware of us coming that night. Luckily, Anne was still there to unlock the church and to somewhat guide us through the steps of Rehearsal. When we called and spoke to Monsignor the day after he showed no concern or care, he just confirmed the day and time of the wedding and told us how much we owed.

Wedding Day: there was no one assisting the bridal party behind the church before the ceremony began. We were unaware when to start walking and for me (bride) I needed the doors open for the train of my dress to fit and the door hooks on one side were broken. In between the bridal party walking in, we had to fold papers and prop the door in order to keep the door open for me. We should of had someone assisting us at this time, especially since our rehearsal did not go as planned. We were not given alter servers and sadly monsignor called me by the wrong name. I am grateful for my supportive bridal party, family and friends, the ceremony was beautiful but these hiccups should have...

A sincere note to the wedding couple: First let us say that, although a parish may have many weddings at its church, a bride and groom have memories only of their own special ceremony there. It is unfortunate that you had these disappointments! Our Pastor’s day off each week is Friday, and therefore an associate priest, deacon or our rectory manager are in charge of rehearsals; thus, she was there that night to guide you through the ceremony. And although we normally do not have someone assisting the bridal party in the back of the church, a broken door hook was certainly not helpful to your entrance on your wedding day. We apologize and it will be fixed. We only hope that somehow this will eventually become a not-so-awkward part of your ‘wedding day story’ that is passed on! from Lu Doyle, Director of Adult Faith Formation at...

An exceptionally welcoming community that constantly strives to find new ways to live their Catholic faith.

I was very fortunate to be part of a Laudato Si' study group that met weekly and was able to suggest ways the parish could improve their efforts to combat climate change and other environmental issues - our advice was welcomed and quickly adopted.

There are numerous opportunities for individuals to become more active in the parish, and there is a place...
