KK's Wedding Site





















www.staugustineglastonbury.com


KK and Tyler have chosen St. Augustine Parish, South Glastonbury, CT for their wedding ceremony.  We have three Catholic Parishes in town, a community of just over 30,000.  The church were we attend is wonderful, St. Dunstan.  Our priest is almost perfect.  But the church building it a victim of the 1970's architecture.  Maybe one wedding a year is held there.  The priests in Glastonbury have a good working relationship, and as long as you are registered parishioners, you may be married in one of the three churches in town.  If you will remember, Maggie and Rob were married at St. Paul's on Main Street.  (see photo below.  Image results: ebay.com)



Where St. Paul's has a more formal air, (like Maggie and Rob's wedding), St. Augustine's has a more relaxed, quaint silhouette.  It's going to be fun to decorate!

Please read below a brief description of St Augustine's form historicbuildingsct.com 

"On April 7, 1878, Bishop Thomas Galberry blessed the cornerstone of a new Catholic chapel on Hopewell Road in South Glastonbury. It was a mission of St. Mary’s Church in East Hartford and was dedicated to St. Augustine on November 17, 1878. St. Augustine became a parish in March 1902."
