Church Cleaning

Church Cleaning Volunteers
People are needed to help clean the sanctuary and adjoining areas of our beautiful church. We currently have 4 teams that take a turn once a month. If you enjoy being active and take pride in a clean church, please consider joining one of our teams! 

Church Cleaning Coordinator
Many thanks to Lisa Ratterman who has so dutifully served as our Church cleaning coordinator for over 5 years! We are in need of someone to take over this role. Duties include scheduling the cleaning teams throughout the year - ensuring each team has enough volunteers. One would also make sure the cleaning supply closet is organized and complete with items needed. 

Please contact Laura Sullivan, 425-3940 ext 148 or lsullivan@stalbert.org if interested.

Eucharistic Procession

Sunday, June 22nd after the 10:30a.m. Mass

On June 21/22 we will celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. In honor of this great feast day, we will be having an outdoor

Eucharistic Procession on Sunday, June 22nd after the 10:30a.m. Mass. The procession will begin in the church at the conclusion of Mass. We will process outside and walk around the St. Albert campus. Benediction in the church will conclude the procession. We encourage everyone to participate!

Processions are important because they remind us that we are pilgrims journeying through this earthly existence following Jesus on “the Way”. When we have a Eucharistic Procession, not only are we gazing upon our Eucharistic Lord, but we are walking with him. We experience what the disciples did 2000 years ago as they walked with Jesus, proclaiming the Good News to the world.

Special Mass Time on Saturday, June 21st

Mass will be held at 4:00 PM (not 5:00 PM) on Saturday June 21st, and will be a quiet Mass without music. We hope everyone will join us at the Summer Picnic after Mass for an evening of live music, food and beverages, games and fun! We will not be offering confession before Mass.

Loaves & Fishes

July 5th & 6th

Our July collection will benefit the Schuhmann Center.
They are in need of the following:

• deodorant

• bar soap 

• shampoo 

• razors 

• shaving cream 

• toothpaste 

• toothbrushes 

• laundry detergent

Being able to afford clean clothes, hygiene products, and a clean environment can significantly impact a person's ability to participate in employment, school, and social activities. Food assistance programs often focus on food, leaving these essential needs uncovered. Social services and food pantries help bridge this gap by distributing non-food items to those facing food insecurity.

St. John’s summer Collection

We are deeply grateful to all our parishioners for your generous support over the past months! Your kindness brought comfort to the homeless during the frigid winter months. As we now enter the heat of summer, the needs of those we serve are changing. Items such as body wash, spray deodorants, light cotton boxer shorts (M, L, XL), and white cotton socks are especially helpful during this time.

Donations can be placed in the basket at the back of the Church near the 10th Station of the Cross. Thank you once again for your continued care and generosity—your support brings hope and dignity to many.
