I'm New to Saint Augustine - Saint Francis Xavier, Brooklyn.
Where Do I Start?
Welcome to the parish family of Saint Augustine – Saint Francis Xavier!
It is a joy for me to serve these two distinct communities that have played such an important role in Park Slope, Brooklyn for so many years. Since being named the administrator of both parishes in July 2021, I have been working with staff and lay leadership to bring these communities together in a way that can better address the needs of all parishioners and visitors. As these two communities share their unique gifts with each other, all who enter either church will be welcomed by the presence of Christ in and through those gifts. Know that you and your unique gifts have a place here.
The combined parish family of St. Augustine – St. Francis Xavier is a refuge for healing in this very broken world. As we continue to face challenges in our city, country and Church, may we respond to the prophetic call that has been placed on our hearts to be witnesses of hope. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know you!
Peace, prayers, and blessings,
Fr. Frank C. Tumino

The central Catholic act of worship is attending the Mass, or Divine Liturgy. The Mass is divided into two parts: the Liturgy of the Word, and the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
During the first part, the priest leads us in prayer and songs, praising God, thanking Him, and asking Him for forgiveness. We hear Scripture readings, the priest gives a talk, and then we all pronounce the core principles of our faith.
In the second part, the priest says the blessing, transforming bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. We all say the "Our Father" prayer, and then receive communion. Finally, there is a closing prayer and final blessing.
