This simple brick church in Romanesque style was built by German-American parishioners. Through the years it has served and continues to serve Catholics of many ethnic backgrounds. Today it is the home in Newark of Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity.

Good afternoon,
I attended St. Augustine between 1962 to 1967. Are there any old photographs that the church/school has of old students?
