Site Tour: St. Augustine Church
Join the DC Preservation league for a guided tour of St. Augustine Church – home of the first Black Catholic parish in Washington, DC. The tour will be led by Dena Grant, a proud generational member of the church, archivist/historian, Girl Scout Troop Leader, and Youth Book Club/Podcast Organizer. She will share the history and resilience of the St. Augustine parish as they have journeyed and maintained ministry on 15th Street.
The original Saint Augustine no longer exists and attendees will be visiting the church/physical building that was once Saint Paul’s Church, but the spirit of St. Augustine’s founding and call to service still survives.
Dena will be accompanied by parishioner Sybil Williams, who is an African American genealogist.
This tour is $20 for anyone who would like to attend.
