The church has some magnificent views of the Hudson River. The only problem is that in Summer (which is when I took these pictures) you can hardly see them because of the leaves on the trees.

The picture above shows a view of the west side of the Hudson with the river in the foreground.

The picture below shows a view over Croton Bay (the water in foreground) and Croton Point. The hills is the background are the same as in the preceding picture, but from this angle you can’t see the Hudson at all.

Incorporated as a parish in 1878, St. Augustine was forced to relocate and rebuild at its current location at Eagle Park in 1978 because of New York State’s plans to widen Route 9. The crucifix overlooking the river was relocated from its original site and refurbished.
