Saint Alphonsus Parish

In the midst of the noise and busyness of everyday life, take an hour to be still, encounter Jesus in the Eucharist, and pray for the missionary efforts of the Parish. Beginning this Thursday, join the Missionary Hub at St. Alphonsus on the first Thursday of each month from 6:30–7:30 PM for Eucharistic Adoration, with Confession available. Stay afterward for a time of fellowship and community. Whether you are seeking peace, desiring to grow in prayer and missionary zeal, or simply longing for a moment of silence with the Lord, all are welcome.

The Saint Alphonsus Moms Group invites moms of all ages and stages to our next meeting on Monday, November 2nd. Monsignor McCulken will be joining us to share on the topic of Spiritual Warfare and Motherhood. Hope to see you in the Narthex at 9:30am for prayer, reflection, and connection. Childcare provided!

We are truly blessed to share such a naturally beautiful, welcoming, and sacred space throughout the liturgical year. To help maintain this environment, we are seeking volunteers to assist with decorating for major liturgical celebrations, as well as with ongoing floral arrangements and seasonal needs. This is a rewarding opportunity to work alongside fellow parishioners to highlight the natural beauty and sacred character of our church. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact the Rectory Office.
