Assortment of Spices, Dishes, and Cups St. Augustine's is more than a church; it is a community space where people can be together. One important way to be together is to break bread, which parishioners often did after church services concluded. A lively kitchen space in the basement of St. Augustine's sent delicious smells wafting up through the floorboards on Sundays, keeping people in their seats until the very end. These spices, dishes, and cups are emblematic of this essential social aspect of the world of St. Augustine's.
