This holy hour dedicated to prayers for Pope Francis will take place in the church and will include rosary, music, scripture and time for silent reflection. The presence of Christ in the Eucharist is real, true and substantial. We have an amazing opportunity to spend time with Jesus who is physically present in the Eucharist that is exposed on the altar.
Sunday, March 2 | 3:00 pm | St. Albert the Great Church
Please join us for a wonderful hour of music!
Voces Novae, now in its 31st season, is a semi-professional, selectively-auditioned choral ensemble focusing on contemporary American and a capella music. VN frequently collaborates with the Louisville Orchestra to perform master choral works such as Beethoven's 9th Symphony, Mozart's Requiem, and Orff's Carmina Burana. Their March 2 concert at St Albert, "In Her Voice," will feature sacred and secular works from American female composers.
Parishioner Dawn Knapp, a longtime VN member, would like to extend a special concert invitation and ticket discount to the St. Albert parish and staff. Just visit the will-call table before the concert and mention that you're a St Albert parishioner to purchase adult or senior citizen tickets for $15. Student tickets are $10 with student ID and child (age 12 & under) tickets are $5.
