MAIN THEMES
For you to explore
Spiritual
One of our aims is to practice Augustinian teachings through a better environment, cultural development and a nurturing community.
Arts & Culture
In 2023 the FSKAA will launch a soft opening of the; Community Interpretation Centre with an operational St. Augustine’s multi-purpose hall, the Cultural and Creativity space and the Archives.
Heritage
The St. Augustine’s Community Interpretation Centre has for the past decade expanded slowly to incorporate more space and integrate its collections through a restoration and conservation programme and a rehabilitation and reuse plan. The latter has been dictated by a design process which made use of available space. This space has been adaptively re-used into galleries and cultural areas as niches of tangible heritage assets but also as exhibition and performance areas.
History
