Saint Augustine Church, Montpelier

Saint Augustine Church, Montpelier

Saint Augustine Church in Montpelier is a Roman Catholic parish church, completed in 1903 after more than a decade of construction. Built in the Gothic Revival style, it is constructed of locally quarried gray granite and features a slate roof, twin towers, and a central rose window. The building forms part of the Montpelier Historic District and continues to serve an active congregation.

The parish dates back to 1830, when the first Catholic Mass in the city was held for a small group of mainly French Canadian residents. Early services took place in private homes and temporary spaces before a permanent church was established. As the community grew, successive buildings were replaced or expanded, leading to the present structure. The interior originally included decorative painting and stained glass in keeping with the Gothic style, though some of these details were simplified in later years.
