St. Augustine’s has had a parish magazine for many, many years. It has 36 black and white pages and eight pages of adverts from 16 advertisers.

The title has changed several times and now called The Rock, it is published 10 times a year. (The December magazine combines with the January edition and the July magazine combines with the August edition).

There are eight regular contributors including an editorial from the parish priest. Other articles concern the devotional, parish life, events in the parish, wider community and the diocese, articles about charities, and puzzle pages.

Over the years the number of magazines sold has slowly decreased as people have moved away or died. The numbers have dropped from 300 in the last 10 years.

In February 2020, 245 magazines will be distributed by 25 people and 20 magazines will be put in the rack for people to buy directly. 300 magazines are printed by a small local printer who delivers to the church in time for delivery prior to the last Thursday of each month.
