Welcome to Holy Trinity and St. Augustine Catholic Parish
We are a Roman Catholic family of Faith and Love centered on Jesus, called to preach the good news, to heal the sick, and to feed those who hunger and thirst for wholeness. Our liturgical celebrations are truly an expression of joy as we nourish ourselves from the table of the Lord.
Richly filled in tradition – with reverent Tridentine (Latin) Masses scheduled weekly – we invite you to join us at either of our locations, we have a seat saved for you…
Our Parish is comprised of two Churches and a school. Holy Trinity Church & School and St Augustine Church – both conveniently located in South St. Paul, MN.

Pastor John Paul Echert

I am a priest of the Archdiocese of St. Paul-Minneapolis. I was ordained in 1987, and first served as a pastor at St. Rose of Lima parish in Roseville, after which I was assigned to the faculty of The St. Paul Seminary. I accomplished my graduate studies in Sacred Scripture at the Pontifical Biblical Institute, Rome and the Ecole Biblique, Jerusalem.
I was assigned as pastor of the Churches of Holy Trinity and St. Augustine, South Saint Paul, in April of 2005. I also am a retired Military Chaplain for the Minnesota Air National Guard.
