A Note from Our Pastor
As we begin a new year, it is an opportunity to embrace new resolutions. As Catholic Christians, it is important to not only attend Mass, but to contribute in some manner to the Church.
In my vision for Saint Alphonsus, I would like to see every parishioner commit themselves to some type of volunteer activity. There are countless opportunities to give back to the parish in time and talent.
To help facilitate this goal, we will have a community coordinator. In addition, we hope to offer a spiritual gifts inventory that will help people discern how they can share their unique gifts with the parish.
High School Retreat
“Do not conform yourself to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.” - Romans 12:2
Help Needed!
We're looking for volunteers to step up to be added to a livestream rotation for the Sunday, 10:30 am Mass. We have many home-bound parishioners who rely on this stream to keep them connected to their parish.
Knowledge of livestreaming is not required. Training will be provided.
