Caroling at Auggie's Cafe

Bishop Stephen London was invited to lunch at Auggie’s Café on December 17. St. Augustine-Parkland has been running Auggie’s Café on Tuesdays in Spruce Grove since 2011, and their Christmas celebration is extra special.

Celebrating its 14th anniversary as a parish ministry this March, Auggie’s Cafe has become a diverse community of people of all ages, from all walks of life in need of a home-cooked meal and social connection.

“It is so important to the community and an amazing sign of the Gospel of Jesus,” says Bishop Steve. “It is a meal prepared every week for dozens of people who are hungry for both food and companionship. I went to the Christmas celebration and got to visit with many people and sing as well in the carol group.”

This year, Auggie’s Café was also the distribution hub for Christmas gifts for families throughout the Parkland region.

“Thank you, Kevin (Kraglund, St. Augustine-Parkland rector) and the whole team for the work you do to embody God's love.”
