St. Augustine's Church, Gothic Revival church in Austin, Minnesota.
St. Augustine's Church stands with two spires reaching heights of 170 and 140 feet, constructed from red pressed brick and red sandstone trim from Bayfield, Wisconsin.
The cornerstone was laid on April 24, 1894, and Bishop Joseph Cotter dedicated the completed structure on November 26, 1896, marking a significant milestone for the Catholic community.
The parish established Pacelli Catholic Schools, which evolved from the original 1872 school founded by the Sisters of St. Dominic to today's comprehensive K-12 education system.
The church interior accommodates over 600 people within its 169-foot length and 77-foot width, providing ample space for religious services and community gatherings.
In 1976, lightning struck the church steeple, causing $500,000 in damages, yet the swift response prevented the fire from spreading to other parts of the structure.
