In the year 603 Augustine was sent by Pope Gregory to urge the British Bishops to cement Catholic unity, and with the aid of King Ethelbert he summoned them to a conference at a place known to the British at the time of the Venerable Bede (673 to 735) as St Augustine's Oak.
Bede's Ecclestiastical History of the English People tells the story in great detail in Book 2, Chapter 2, but briefly, seven bishops and many learned men who came from the famous monastery called BANCORNABURG (Bangor-is-y-Coed, Clwyd) attended the conference. However the meeting did not have a happy ending, and they refused to recognize Augustine as their Archbishop as he had not risen from his chair to greet them.
The meeting place was AUST, and so on the feast of St Augustine of Canterbury each year it is commemorated with a special Mass, usually held in the chapel in the Anglican Church at Aust.

Our Lady of Tintern
OUR LADY OF TINTERN
The preacher at the service of Sung Vespers at Tintern on Sunday 7th September 2008 was Dom Aidan Bellinger, our President.
Some of you may have been present at the blessing and dedication of the new statue of Our Lady and the Child at Tintern after the annual ecumenical service in September 2007 when a very large crowd estimated at 800 people attended. Archbishop Peter Smith of Cardiff together with the Anglican Bishop of Monmouth, Rt Rev Dominic Walker undertook the joint blessing.
Since then, the sculptor, Philip Chatfield, together with the masons from CADW have permanently installed the statue in the south aisle of the Abbey church.
CADW seem to be very pleased with the statue and tell us it is much photographed. The statue was entirely paid for by private subscription organised by the Friends of Our Lady of Tintern.
Further information is avaiable on the Friends website www.ourladyoftintern.co.uk or Miss S Williams, 12 Brook Crescent, Monmouth NP25 5AX
