Feast of St. Albert the Great

Join us as we celebrate our parish patron, St. Albert the Great, a renowned scholar, teacher, and patron saint of scientists. His life reminds us that faith and reason work together to reveal the wonder of God’s creation.

We will celebrate his feast day at all weekend Masses on November 15–16. Hospitality will be offered after every Mass—please stop by for donuts and coffee, enjoy fellowship, and help us honor the legacy of St. Albert in our parish community.

St. Albert the Great, pray for us!

Mass for our Military

Saint Albert the Great School would like to extend a heartfelt invitation to all veterans and active-duty service members—along with their family members, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends—to join us as we celebrate Veterans Day Mass on Tuesday, November 11th at 9:45 a.m.

We would be deeply honored by your presence as we gather in gratitude for your service and sacrifice. Our hope is that our students may better understand what service, dedication, and love of country truly mean—through your inspiring example.

Please come and allow us the privilege of honoring you for all you have done for our country.
