Mass Showcase With Fr. Schultz

A brief introduction to the rite or form will be given at 5:15pm, followed by Mass at 5:30pm. A Q&A with the celebrating priest will follow. The Masses will highlight both the variety and universality of the worldwide Catholic Church. All are invited to join Fr. Schultz for Mass to learn more about the Romanian Rite.

Charismatic Mass 

Tuesday, June 10th |  6:15pm | Church

The Louisville Catholic Charismatic Renewal is hosting a charismatic mass at St.Albert the Great Church on Tuesday, June 10th from 6:15pm to 8:30pm. A half hour of Praise and Worship will begin at 6:15pm followed by a time to share any inspirations or messages from the Holy Spirit via open mic. The mass will begin at 7pm. There will be opportunities throughout the mass in congruency with the liturgy to praise Jesus with spontaneous prayer in one’s native language or in tongues (1 Cor 12-14). Come experience the movements of the Holy Spirit in this unique form of worship!

Pentecost

This weekend (June 7/8) the church will celebrate the great Solemnity of Pentecost. Easter Time comes to its glorious conclusion with this celebration which the Church celebrates 50 days after Easter Sunday. The word, Pentecost, means 50 days or 50th day in Greek. Pentecost is sometimes called the birthday of the Church because it was only after the Apostles were filled with the gifts of the Spirit that they set forth on the mission Christ gave them, to preach the Good News and to baptize all nations. 

In honor of this great celebration of the Church, all are invited to wear red which is the liturgical color for this day.

Loaves & Fishes

Thank You!

Thank you for your generous donations to the St. Ignatius food pantry. As you can see from the photo their shelves were bare and they were in great need of the food you donated! Food insecurity significantly impacts our local community and often disproportionately affects vulnerable populations like children and the elderly. Jesus emphasized the importance of caring for the poor and feeding the hungry throughout his teachings. “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat... Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.” Matthew 25:35-40 

Homebound Ministers for Communion

We are currently seeking compassionate volunteers to serve as Homebound Ministers for Communion. This meaningful ministry brings the Eucharist and a sense of connection to those in our parish who are unable to attend Mass due to illness, age, or mobility issues. If you feel called to share your faith in this special way and can commit to visiting on the weekend or as needed, please contact Laura Graven at 425-3940. Training will be provided. Your presence could be a powerful reminder of God’s love and our parish community’s care!
