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."

​

 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. Aces dues are $20.00 a year.

New Member WELCOME

The St. Albert Welcome Mass extends a welcome to all new parish members. Immediately following Mass is a New Member Reception with food and 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 welcome event is to share information about how new members can engage more with the St. Albert the Great community and meet and connect with other parishioners. Volunteers are always needed to assist.

There are numerous ministries provided via the Pastoral Care Ministry.
