About Us:

Augustine Parish has two separate churches: the Church of the Good Shepherd located in south Chesapeake City and St. Augustine Church on MD Route 310, approximately 3 miles south of Chesapeake City. Both locations are used alternately for worship and related church matters.

St. Augustine Church, originally called the Manor Chapel, was one of the 30 churches paying tithes to the Bishop of London in 1690. It was the place of worship for the early settlers of Bohemia Manor, an estate of several thousand acres granted to Augustine Herman by Lord Baltimore in 1660.

Good Shepherd Church was refurbished in the 1980's and 1990's. Coverings were given to provide protection to the stained glass windows. An Allen theatrical organ was purchased to enhance our music program. Substantial work was done to restore the Parish House. The kitchen was updated adding commercial grade appliances. A Rector's study was added.
