Description
Black And White Cathedral Basilica by D Hackett
The Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine is the oldest parish of a permanent European settlement on the North American continent north of Mexico. On August 28, 1565, Don Pedro Menendez de Avils first sighted land along the east coast of Florida. It was the feast day of Saint Augustine of Hippo. Menendez decided to give that saints name to his first settlement. He continued sailing north along the coast, eventually coming to rest in September. While some members of Menendezs party landed on September 6, 1565, Menendez himself did not land until September 8, the feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. History records only one of the names of the four priests, Father Francisco Lopez de Mendoza Grajales and it is Father Lopez who began Mission Nombre de Dios, where Mass and pastoral services have been offered every year since its founding.
Soon after, a church was established and administered as a regular parish of the Diocese of Santiago de Cuba.
