Parish Pictorial Directories

The long-awaited Parish Pictorial Directories have arrived!

If you had your photo taken, your complimentary copy can be picked up at the parish office during business hours. (Mon-Fri 8:00a.m-4:00p.m.) It’s a wonderful keepsake and a great way to put names with the friendly faces of our parish family!

Please note: Directories cannot be mailed, and only those who participated in the directory are eligible to receive one.

All Saints Day

Saturday, November 1st is All Saints Day. Since it falls on a Saturday this year it is not a holy day of obligation, but we will still celebrate it as a great Solemnity honoring all saints – the well known ones, as well as those whose names are known only to a few. This is a day to celebrate all in heaven who now rejoice in God’s presence. With that in mind, there are two opportunities to attend Mass. We will have a 9p.m. Candlelit Mass on October 31st and an 8:30a.m. Mass on November 1st .

All Souls Day

This year, November 2nd falls on a Sunday, so we will celebrate this solemnity during our regularly scheduled Masses 4p.m. 8a.m. & 10:30a.m. 

In addition, we will have a special Mass of Remembrance Sunday evening, November 2nd, at 5p.m. During this Mass we will honor those who have been buried from our church since November of last year. Families of our deceased parishioners are invited to attend as well as anyone who has lost a loved one in the last year. At this Mass, names of the deceased from our parish are sung during a special Litany. Other names of those who have passed away since November, 2024 and whose funerals were held at other locations will be spoken during the Litany. For more information, contact Kristina Hellmann, Pastoral Associate, khellmann@stalbert.org or 425-3940 ext 169.

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 Monday, 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.

Veterans are invited to sit in the front rows during Mass. If you have children or grandchildren who attend Saint Albert, they are welcome to sit with you.

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

Gold Mass Celebrating Faith & Science

Please join us for the Archdiocese of Louisville's annual Gold Mass, honoring scientists, science educators, and science students in our community. This year’s Gold Mass will be held at St. Albert the Great—fittingly, as St. Albert is the patron saint of scientists, and his feast day is November 15. All are welcome as we celebrate the harmony of faith and scientific discovery!

The Mass will take place on Saturday, November 15th at 10:00am, with music provided by our children’s and adult choirs. A lunch reception with guest speaker Christopher Graney will follow in the Parish Life Center. Lunch RSVP by November 7th, lwyatt@archlou.org.

Both retreats are free and will take place on the St. Albert the Great campus.
