At St. A’s, we embody a progressive understanding of Christianity, enlivened by the URI cam-
pus community and its intellectual vigor. We offer a place to explore, learn, and inquire into
your faith at any age. Our worship is come-as-you-are, child-friendly, and informal. Our life
together offers camaraderie in the Gospel work of feeding, sheltering, and celebrating God’s
goodness; practicing wise stewardship in creation; offering deep prayer; and hosting great par-
ties. Visit our website—http://staugustineuri.org.
