As the nation celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month, the Episcopal Church Foundation (ECF) and the Office of Latino/Hispanic Ministries pause to recognize the contributions and leadership of Latin@/Hispanic Americans in the Episcopal Church and the dramatic impact that they’ve had on the Church.

Oscar Romero was Archbishop of San Salvador. He was assassinated on Monday March 24th 1980 as he was celebrating Mass in the chapel of the Divine Providence cancer hospital where he lived. Thirty five years later, he was declared a martyr of the Church, killed out of hatred of the faith, and was beatified on May 23rd 2015. He was canonised by Pope Francis on October 14th 2018.
Who We Are

Meet Our Rector
A big sign greets all at the entrance to St. Augustine’s-in-the-Woods: Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, all are welcome here! Since my first week here, in November 2022, I have discovered that this wide, warm welcome is truly at the heart of this community.
With you on the journey,
