2025 Black and Indian Mission Collection

This weekend, we will take up the annual Black and Indian Mission Collection. This Collection exists to help diocesan communities preach the Gospel of Jesus among the African American, Native American, and Alaskan Native people of God. Your donations help fund parish-based catechetical programs, support teacher and catechist professional development, encourage vocations to the priesthood and religious life, and create diocesan structures, such as our own archdiocesan Office of Multicultural Ministry, that support ministry and evangelization in these diverse ethnic communities.

Lenten Tree

March 5th – March 23rd

The Lenten Tree is an annual gift-giving event which presents the parish with the opportunity to express our appreciation to our retired religious for their service and commitment to the Catholic Church. St. Albert the Great Parish families purchase personal care items which are given to show our love to over 400 religious from various organizations, including the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, the Little Sisters of the Poor and the Ursuline Sisters of Louisville and Mount St. Joseph in Owensboro, KY.

The Lenten Tree will be set up in the gathering space and filled with paper crosses starting on Ash Wednesday, March 5th. The crosses share the wish list from each religious organization/home. Please consider taking a cross from the tree and purchasing a few of the items listed. Please return all items to the gathering space in a bag/box with the cross securely attached no later than NOON, Sunday, March 23rd. To purchase gifts off the  Amazon search the registry for St Albert Giving Tree. 

The Social Concerns Committee sincerely appreciates the St. Albert the Great Parish Community for caring for our retired religious who give so much to our communities!

 Loaves & Fishes

Thank You!

Thanks to all those who donated last weekend! St. Vincent de Paul was very grateful. Your generosity never ceases to amaze the pantries. Our next food collection will be going to Sr. Visitor. They are always in need of bleach, dish detergent, jellies, ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauces, cooking oil, flour & rice. As always, thank you for helping to alleviate food insecurity in our local community!

Environmental Concerns Committee

Laudato si Study Group

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis’ landmark encyclical Laudato si. In it, Pope Francis calls us to action, to become more aware of the damage we are doing to our environment, and to work to ensure that this most precious gift from God is cared for. The Environmental Concerns Committee of St. Albert the Great parish would like to invite you to join a new study group being formed to read and discuss Laudato si, and to explore actions we can all take to help care for our common home. 

If you are interested in joining our group, please contact Mark Wehrley at 456-5176, or by using the Environmental Ernie web site’s “Contact Us” section. Go to: sites.google.com/stalbert.org/enviro-ernie-news/home. Remember, you do make a difference, please make it a positive one! Thanks, Environmental Ernie
