As we wrap up our Saints and Virtues program for the school year, we are proud to celebrate all that our students have learned and practiced. Each month, we focused on a different virtue, paired with a saint who modeled that virtue in their life:
September – Kindness (St. Teresa of Calcutta)
October – Faith (Blessed Carlo Acutis)
November – Gratitude (St. Francis of Assisi)
December – Generosity (St. Nicholas)
January – Responsibility (St. Joseph)
February – Love (St. Valentine)
March – Forgiveness (St. Maria Goretti)
April – Patience (St. Monica)
These virtues are more than just monthly themes, they are lifelong skills that help shape strong character, deepen faith, and guide positive relationships with others.
Families can continue nurturing these virtues at home in simple, meaningful ways. Encourage your child to practice kindness through small acts of service, express gratitude during daily conversations, and reflect on forgiveness and patience during challenging moments. Reading about the lives of the saints, setting small family goals around a virtue each week, or even recognizing one another when a virtue is demonstrated can help keep these lessons alive.
Thank you for your partnership in helping our students grow not only academically, but also in character and faith!

Bus registration is NOW OPEN open through May 9 at 9 PM. Bus riders for this past school year must register if they wish to ride the bus in the upcoming 2026-27 school year. May 9 is the final deadline, and no registrations will be accepted after this date. Once routes are set, families can ONLY be added if there is space on the bus AND if they use an existing stop on a current route. We will not add or change routes or stops to accommodate late registrations between May 10 and the start of school. No exceptions.
A $100 bus deposit per family is needed to complete your registration. This deposit will go toward your total bus fee. It is non-refundable unless we are unable to place you on a route. Refunds will not be given after bus routes are communicated for reasons including, but not limited to: pick up or drop off time, stop location, etc.
Current school families: $100 will be auto-drafted from your FACTS account once we receive your registration form.
New St. Albert families: You will need to submit a check made payable to St. Albert the Great Parish School with the subject line 25/26 Bus Transportation. Checks can be dropped off in the school office M-F between 7:30 AM - 3:30 PM, placed in the black, locked mailbox outside of our School Entrance door, or mailed to St. Albert the Great Parish School, 1395 Girard Drive, Louisville, KY 40222.
Historically, the bus cost has broken down to less than $4 per day, but the total bus cost is based on operating expenses, bus participation rates and the state’s bus subsidy and will be communicated to families at the start of the 26/27 school year. We are exploring the opportunity to add an additional bus next year if the numbers support that. The new bus would likely serve communities along Shelbyville Road. Please take the time to register, even if you were unable to ride in the past so that we can determine whether the additional bus route is viable. The deposit is refundable if we are unable to accommodate your request to ride the bus.
Bus routes will be communicated via email in mid-July. REGISTER HERE
June 23-26th 9 am - 12 pm

This month, we look to Saint Monica, a woman whose life beautifully reflects the power of patience, perseverance, and unwavering faith. Saint Monica is best known as the mother of Saint Augustine. For many years, she prayed for his conversion as he struggled and turned away from his faith. Despite heartbreak and uncertainty, Monica never gave up. Through constant prayer, trust in God, and incredible patience, she witnessed her son’s eventual conversion—one that would go on to impact the Church for generations.
Saint Monica teaches us that patience is not simply waiting—it is trusting in God’s timing, even when the path is difficult. In her daily life, she endured challenges in her family with grace, responding not with anger or despair, but with steady faith and love. Her example reminds us that God is always at work, even when we cannot yet see the outcome.
As a school community, we are called to practice the virtue of patience—with our children, our colleagues, and ourselves. Like Saint Monica, may we choose prayer over worry, trust over frustration, and hope over discouragement.
Family Prayer for Patience
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the gift of our family.
Help us to be patient with one another,
especially when things are difficult.
Teach us to trust in Your plan,
just as Saint Monica did,
and to respond with love, kindness, and understanding.
Give us calm hearts, gentle words,
and the strength to wait with faith.
May our home be filled with peace,
and may we grow closer to You each day.
Amen.

This is a great opportunity to get a group together and support one of the best events of the year! So grab some parents/friends from your respective grades/classes/groups and join in the fun!
Being a Booth Captain is easy peasy, and Lauren Owens will give you all the details and answer any questions you have. Essentially, you are in charge of booth set-up/take down for one night. You don't have to stay in the booth the entire evening, but you do need to organize workers to help during each shift. We can even fill your worker slots if need be! Keep the games moving, inspire lots of traffic, and make it fun! You can decorate, enjoy a couple beverages, and even inspire some friendly competition between players/booths!
Right now, we need captains for the following booths -
Friday - Wallet Booth, Cornhole Toss
Saturday - 4 in a Row, Cartoon Characters, Duck Pond, Ping Pong, Plant Booth, Popcorn, Roll a Score and Tic Tac Toe
Picnic this year is on June 19 and 20 and runs from approx 5pm to 11pm (though some booths will close earlier).
Please reach out to Lauren Owens at 312.285.6400 or laurenhowens@gmail.com if you are ready to join in the fun!
