Join us Sunday, November 1, for our All Saints Day celebration! We’ll begin with Solemn Evening Prayer at 4PM in church, followed by Saints Trivia in the PLC until 6PM. Think you know your saints?

November 2nd | 7:00PM
On Monday, November 2nd at 7PM 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. Indeed, all are invited to this special Mass to pray for all souls, trusting that God will hear and answer our prayers that the deceased will know eternal light, happiness and peace. 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, 2025 and whose funerals were held at other locations will be spoken during the Litany. For more information, contact Laura Sullivan, Director of Music and Worship, lsullivan@stalbert.org or 425-3940
We’re excited to offer two ways to schedule Mass intentions! You can now submit your request and pay ONLINE through our website or schedule IN PERSON at the parish office during regular office hours.
We’ve also updated our Mass intention policies to make it easier for more parishioners to remember their loved ones in prayer.
To help our parishioners practice this praise worthy devotion, St. Albert the Great Catholic Church offers the opportunity to pray the Rosary before the 8:30AM Saturday daily Mass; confess our sins in the Sacrament of Reconciliation immediately after Mass; and spend some time in quiet prayer and reflection in the presence of Our Lord at Adoration. Join us for the next First Saturday on November 7th!
