 | | Augustine consecrated Mellitus Bishop of London and Justus Bishop of Rochester. | | | Augustine reconsecrated and rebuilt an old church at Canterbury as his cathedral and founded a monastery in connection with it. | | | He is claimed to have founded The King's School, Canterbury, which would make it the world's oldest school; however there may be little more to this than that some teaching took place at the monastery. |

| | Augustine of Canterbury's feast was on May 28. | | | Augustine was neither the most heroic of missionaries, nor the most tactful, but he did a great work, and he was one of the very few men in Gaul or Italy who, at that time, was prepared to give up everything to preach the gospel in a far country. | | | Father, by the preaching of St. Augustine of Canterbury, you led the people of England to the gospel. |

| | SAINT AUGUSTINE OF CANTERBURY |
| | To gain the authority he needed, Augustine went to France late in 597 to be consecrated bishop by Vergilius, bishop of Arles. | | | Gregory would have none of this and sent Augustine back with a letter in which the reluctant apostles were told kindly, but firmly, to go on with their mission in England. | | | This was no easy task, for the Saxons, who had only recently invaded England to conquer the native Celts, were fierce, primitive people who very often preferred the dark attractions of magic and idolatry to the clear truths of Christianity. |

| | Nothing that Augustine could say would persuade them to go on, and they would only agree that he should go back to Rome and hear their prayers to Saint Gregory, imploring him not to force them to face such horrible danger. | | | So the priests and bishops of the British Church arranged to meet Augustine under a great oak-tree, which was called ever afterwards "Augustine's oak." They carefully planned that the foreign monks should arrive there first, in time to be seated, so that the hermit's test might be tried when they themselves should arrive. | | | There they lived as simply and quietly as they had done in their convent in Italy, praying day and night for the souls of these heathen people, and teaching them, as much by their lives as their words, that it was good to serve the Lord Christ. |
