In order to facilitate this process, the Social awareness Committee will include an insert in the bulletin on April 29th. A number of churches in the area and throughout the United States ring bells on the day that an individual is executed to remind congregations to pray for the person who is being executed and the family of the victim. Since St. Albert's does not have a carillon system, members of the Right to Life Committee will hand out a prayer card with a small bell attached after all masses to remind us to pray for the person who is being executed. In coming weeks, we will include in the bulleting the names of those who are to be executed I the coming month. All people are a reflection of the image of God, and thus all human life, at all stages from conception through death, is sacred.
People take precedence over things and structures.
Systems are meant to serve people, not vice versa. The Welcome Ministry is putting together a video to show our new parishioners what the St. Albert the Great parish community is all about and we need your help. Beginning Saturday, April 21st, collection boxes will be placed in the Gathering Space of the church and outside the parish office. These scholarships are sponsored by The Women of St. Albert. The application deadline is May 5.
