Parish Life & Welfare

IMG_0475.jpg

Our Parish Life & Welfare ministries help to promote social, recreational, and pastoral assistance opportunities so as to build and strengthen our parish community life.

SAAM

SAAM

(St. Albert Athletic Ministry) 

The St. Albert Athletic Ministry (SAAM or Athletic Ministry) brings together all the youth of the Parish to play in a variety of team sports throughout the year. SAAM promotes the spiritual and physical welfare of all St. Albert the Great parish youth.  We are a Catholic community, and as such, all SAAM activities reflect the teachings of Jesus Christ and His church.  Additionally, the St. Albert the Great Athletic Ministry promotes Christian competition. Christian competition is embodied in the word respect. Those who participate in the Athletic Ministry are expected to show respect for themselves and those they encounter at all times and in all situations.

St. Al’s ACES 

"WE DON'T STOP PLAYING BECAUSE WE GROW OLD, WE GROW OLD BECAUSE WE STOP PLAYING."

​

ACEs events are currently suspended due to COVID-19. The St. Al’s Aces is a Senior Club organized to meet the needs of our senior parishioners. The Aces meet in a variety of ways, from meetings, fun activities and trips, to their annual Christmas party. Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, the Aces are not currently meeting in person. Aces dues are $10.00 a year.

St. Albert CONNECT

St. Albert Connect is a meeting that extends a welcome to all new parish members (and any members who want to learn a bit more about our parish and how they can connect). The meeting begins with an introduction to the history of St. Albert and the many ways you can connect more deeply in the parish, followed by some time of fellowship, and concludes with brief parishioner testimonies in which you hear personal stories and can form connections with the many ministries and programs of the parish. The goal of this meeting is to share information about how new members can connect more with the St. Albert the Great community and meet and connect with other parishioners. Volunteers are always needed to assist.

Parish Picnic

Each summer the members of our parish host our largest fundraiser: The St. Albert the Great Summer Picnic! This festival is not just for the benefit of our parish and its future, but also acts as a THANK YOU to our community and an opportunity for fun and fellowship! Hundreds of volunteers lend a hand in this three-day event (our Family Night is held on Thursday, with the primary picnic nights being Friday and Saturday from 5:00-11:00PM). Our Picnic features games, raffles, hole-in-one contest, food, and beverages.

Pastoral Care Ministry

The goal of the Pastoral Care Ministry is to reach out to those parishioners who are confined to homes, hospitals, and nursing homes with love, compassion, and support in an effort to keep them connected to the parish community. This is accomplished by bringing them Holy Communion, praying with them, social visits, and notes encouragement at various times. There are numerous ministries provided via the Pastoral Care Ministry. The Pastoral Care Committee oversees the following ministries, as well as overseeing Wedding and Funeral arrangements.  In addition, the ministry offers grief counseling and support groups.
