Crusade Thanks You!

Our parish is truly blessed to have such compassionate and generous people! The Crusade for Children collection is always a success because of you. Our contribution this year was $8,066 ~ #3 of all Louisville area parishes! Since 1995, the Archdiocese of Louisville has contributed almost 9.4 million dollars to the Crusade for Children. This community-wide effort changes the lives of children with special needs, and many families and schools in the Archdiocese have benefited directly from the Crusade. Thank you to all who participated in this worthy cause that directly impacts our local community.

Women's Fall Bible Study

SEPT 10 - OCT 29  |  7:00 – 8:30 p.m.  |  PLC

Following Christ takes more than simply believing in him or doing what he asks of us. Jesus wants you to be more than just a believer—he wants you to be his disciple and friend. Follow Me: Meeting Jesus in the Gospel of John is your guide to a personal encounter with Christ. As the Good Shepherd, Jesus seeks us. He comes to meet us and beckons us to follow him. He calls us to be his disciples, to trust him, to open ourselves to his merciful love, and to love others as he has loved us. Follow Me invites you to experience the joy of a renewed friendship with Christ. In this study you will learn what it takes to follow Christ and discover the joy of divine friendship. You will see how God, and only God, can satisfy the deepest desires of your heart.

This eight-week study begins on Tuesday, September 10 from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m.  in the Parish Life Center.

Please RSVP no later than August 2 to Debbie Shearn at dkshea01@hotmail.com

Stewardship Renewal

LAST CALL!

It's not too late to return your form! The form can be mailed to the parish office or dropped in the collection basket using the included envelope; or email to stewardship@stalbert.org.

Thank you in advance for your continued support of our parish. It takes all of us —pastor, deacons, laity, members, and children— to live out our Parish Mission to “Know, Love and Serve God and One Another.” Your prayer, participation, and generosity to our community is a blessing!

Bone Marrow Registry 

While you're having fun at this year's St Albert Summer Picnic, you might also have the opportunity to help save someone's life! A group of St. Albert volunteers for NMDP Registry (formerly Be the Match) will be on site from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday evening (or until we run out of swabs). We will be swabbing the cheeks of volunteers aged 18-40 to enter potential donors into the National Bone Marrow Registry. NMDP connects cancer patients with a matching donor for a life-saving blood stem cell transplant. 

Parishioners and school parents Amanda and Rob Oakley recently shared their story that Rob donated his bone marrow to a teenage cancer patient 11 years ago and has since received bone marrow stimulant as part of his own chemotherapy treatments during his fight against stage four colon cancer. 

Joining the registry if you're able is a great opportunity for us to step up as a community in honor of the Oakley family as they are an inspiration to us all. (For clarity, this drive is not to find a match for Rob, just to do good in the world like him!) Learn more at nmdp.org and help us spread the word!
