At the end of the Second World War, the 63 m tower was blown up by the Germans, a large part of the church was destroyed. The church was then rebuilt in 1948 in neo-Romanesque style, without a tower.

The parish of St. Augustine was founded in 1862 to provide the village centres of Lutterade and Krawinkel with church life. The parish church was built exactly in the middle between the two residential areas, surrounded by the cemetery. However, the church had to make way for the advancing industry of the mines. Only the cemetery remains, which is still located on the Groenseijkerstraat to this day. In 1935, the new parish church was completed on the Prins de Lignestraat. The national monument is popularly known as the 'two-tower church'. The parish of St. Augustine has been working together with other parishes in Geleen for quite some time. Around 2000, part of the former parish of the H.Hart (Paterskerk) was transferred to the Augustinus. In the years that followed, various partnerships were set up. As a result, an intensive exchange has already grown in the pastoral fields. As a true central church, the Augustinus unites many social lines and has become a church building that has something to offer to many believers due to its size and possibilities. The church is also open every afternoon between 14:00 and 16:00.
