Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes

February 11th  |  5pm

Join us for a special Mass in honor of Our Lady of Lourdes on Tuesday, February 11th, at 5:00 PM. This Mass will be dedicated to Our Blessed Mother and will offer a time of prayer, healing, and reflection for all.

In addition, the Anointing of the Sick will be available for all who are in need of spiritual and physical healing. If you or a loved one are in need of this sacrament, we invite you to receive it during the Mass. (We will also offer Anointing at the 8:30am daily Mass)

We encourage all to attend, especially those who are suffering in body, mind, or spirit. Let us come together as a community to seek the intercession of Our Lady of Lourdes for strength, healing, and peace. 

Saint Pope John Paul II began the observance of the World Day of the Sick, in conjunction with the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, to raise the level of awareness of the sick and the role to which Christ calls each of us  – to tend to their needs.

Join us in Praying the Rosary 

Monday-Friday before Mass | 8:00am | Church

First Saturday of the month | 7:45am | Adoration Chapel

“The Rosary is the most excellent form of prayer and the most efficacious means of attaining eternal life. It is the remedy for all our evils, the root of all our blessings. There is no more excellent way of praying.” —Pope Leo XIII

St. Albert is excited to invite our parishioners and friends to join us in praying the Rosary before Mass! Beginning Monday, February 10th the rosary will be said before Mass Monday- Friday in church at 8:00am. On the first Saturday of the month, the rosary will be said in the Adoration Chapel at 7:45am.
