Come join other parents on Sunday mornings at OLR Hospitality Hall, from 9:15am to 10:15 am. A new Parents Spirituality Support group will be led by Florence de Bretagne, with the support of Teresa Budzich.

After careful consideration as to the needs of our parish, we have decided to restore the St. Albert the Great Sunday Mass to 9am, replacing the 10:30am Mass. This went into effect on 1/8/23. We want to continue to strengthen our parish and community bonds. If your preference for going to Mass is at 10:30am, please attend our parish's other site, Our Lady of the Rosary, which still has a 10:30am Mass.

You can now submit your Mass Intentions online! Simply follow the link and fill out the information, and it will be processed weekly!

Starting June 19th, we will have our Summer Fun Series consisting of fun and games, food, and social activities after the 10:30am Mass at different sites.

New or returning sacristans are needed at Our Lady of the Rosary. No experience required, and training will be provided. We could use a sacristan 1-2 times a month, and/or as a substitute. Contact Will McDougal for more details or to sign up. [email protected]

The choirs at Saint Albert the Great and Our Lady of the Rosary are seeking more singers!

Dear Parishioners, join us for Mass every Sunday at 11 am. All participants will be mute on entry. Please, do not unmute your mics to avoid background noise. We encourage you to continue trying to keep Sunday as a Holiday. Try to prepare yourself for the Holiday of Obligation and even if you will watch the mass from home, make it special as if you were actually going to Church. We pray for everyone’s needs. For an end to the Corona Virus. For the needs of our Parish. Estanislao Mikalonis is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. Join Zoom Meeting https://dsj.zoom.us/j/759166471

Hello everyone, I hope you are all coping well and healthy. I have made available exposition of the Blessed Sacrament at SAG during all day. Please if you go out for a walk, need to pray, stop by and visit the Blessed Sacrament. Also praying the Rosary could be a great devotion when you go for your walks and such. Doors remain locked, so make sure you stay warm and dry. God bless you. Fr. Stasys, pastor
