A Message from Administration

National Catholic Schools Week begins next Sunday, January 29 - February 4. But, have you ever wondered why we are celebrating this? Catholic Schools Week celebrates the contribution that Catholic education provides to our children, to our Church, and to our communities. Most of our graduates continue their education in Catholic high schools, then graduate to go on to college.  

We are acknowledging the many successes that the graduates from Catholic schools across the nation have attained. We also appreciate the dedication and sacrifices that our teachers and staff make since their love of teaching keeps them in the Catholic schools. So, every year we celebrate Catholic schools because of their valuable mission of providing Catholic education and their service to the Church.

Several activities have been planned by the Student Council for our students. I am sure they will enjoy the different activities. We don’t have to wait until Catholic Schools Week, but that week especially, let’s give thanks and celebrate the great accomplishments of our Catholic schools. Let’s also find within ourselves a willingness to support those efforts with our prayers.

Parent Internet Safety Program

Save the Date! We are thrilled to be offering Internet Safety Programs for our students and parents. Rick Nord, a Secret Service Agent, will be our guest speaker, and he is part of the community outreach initiative called Childhood Smart Program, a program about computer and personal safety presented by the United States Secret Service for youth and families in Kentucky. The Childhood Smart Program was created in partnership with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and provides presentations and materials to help teach students how to be safe online.

The program also educates families about preventing abduction and empowering children to practice safe behaviors. Rick will be here at St. Albert on Tuesday, January 30, and will be facilitating 2 programs for students, one for 5th and 6th grades and one for 7th and 8th grades. He will also lead a parent workshop that evening. The schedule is as follows:

1:00-1:50 pm    5th and 6th grades in the PLC

1:50-2:35 pm    7th and 8th grades in the PLC

6:30-8:00 pm   Parent Workshop in the Church (All parents are welcome.)

The programs engage audiences using discussion, videos, and practical tips for staying safe online. They cover issues like cyberbullying, inappropriate content, privacy, and sexting. These are issues that continue to be a concern for many parents as well as school staff. We need to do all that we can to educate and promote safety among our kids as they navigate through the internet world and advancements in technology.

We hope that you will support this program by attending the Parent Workshop and by having discussions with your children about the material that is presented to them in their programs at school.

St. Albert Men's Fellowship TONIGHT

Looking for brotherhood and a strong sense of community? The St. Albert Men's Fellowship is just for you!

The idea for the fellowship came about in 2022, when several parishioners began to get together informally to share ideas, opportunities and to sharpen one another in different ways. Over the year, the group has grown, and we're excited to formalize our gatherings at St. Albert, inviting all our parish brothers to come meet other like-minded men interested in forming strong friendships, deepening their faith, and participating in service.

"As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." Proverbs 17:17

Join the Fellowship on Thursday, January 18th at 7:30pm in the Cafeteria for pizza, drinks, and some College Hoops on the TV!

The group will be brainstorming ideas for future social gatherings and ways to get involved in parish life. If interested in attending, please click the link to fill out the form (https://share.hsforms.com/1UGo6tc_4TNCgtkg4NjwcVgpyaxe) and tell us more about yourself.

If you have any questions, please contact Nick Norcia at NLNorcia@gmail.com
