Happy 25th Anniversary!

October 22nd marks the 25th anniversary of the dedication of our current church building. The parish itself is 66 years old and going strong. A church is more than just a visible building; it is a temple of God, built of living stones that stands as a special sign of the pilgrim Church on earth and reflects the glory of the Church dwelling in heaven. How lucky we are to have such a beautiful space in which to worship!

We will celebrate this milestone during all weekend Masses the weekend of October 18/19. We will also honor the anniversary during the 8:30 a.m. Mass on October 22nd. St. Albert the Great, pray for us!

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

November is the month the church sets aside specifically to honor and pray for those who have died. As Catholics we believe in Purgatory, that cleansing fire through which must pass “all who die in God’s grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church). November 2nd is the Commemoration of the Faithful Departed (All Souls Day) in which the Church prays for the dead.

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. Indeed, all are invited to this special Mass to pray for all souls, trusting that God will hear and answer our prayers that they will know eternal light 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, 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

We will be celebrating the courageous men and women who have served—and are serving—our country at St. Albert the Great’s Veterans Day Mass at 9:45am on Tuesday, November 11th. We invite all veterans and current service men and women to attend our Veteran’s Day Mass, planned by St. Albert the Great School’s 8th Grade class.

Knights of Columbus Coats for Kids

October 25th & 26th

Our Knights of Columbus Bishop Flaget Council is working with Catholic Charities, Little Way Pregnancy Resource Center, Golden Arrow and St. Vincent de Paul to provide winter coats for children in the Louisville area. 

These organizations specify how many coats to purchase and determine the size. The Knights purchases the coats and accepts donations to cover the cost. These high quality coats are purchased directly from Knights of Columbus Supreme in New Haven, Connecticut for a cost of $20 each. 

Last year through the generosity of St. Albert the Great and St. Bernadette, the Knights purchased 1,500 coats which accounted for 40% of the coats purchased in Kentucky.

Help them reach their goal of providing winter coats to children in our Louisville community! Donate in the back of church the weekend of October 25th & 26th!
