St. Charles Seminary Appeal

“Through your support of the St. Charles Borromeo Seminary Appeal, you are participating in a critical mission within the Church. Without the priest, we would not have the Eucharist. Without our Deacons, Catechists and other lay leaders, our missionary outreach would lose its vitality. Your contributions are not only a gift to the seminary but also a gift to the entire Church! And as part of the Church, we are all called to proclaim the beautiful and hopeful message of Christ. Thank you for your “yes”!” - Bishop Keith Chylinski

The Real Presence

The sacrament of the Eucharist is the Real Presence of Jesus Christ. The bread and wine truly become the body, blood soul and divinity of Jesus Christ. The process by which this happens is called transubstantiation. The Eucharist is not a symbol of Jesus. It is Jesus. This is a central teaching of the Catholic Church, and many no longer believe! In this video, Catholic Speaker Ken Yasinski talks about the Real Presence and goes over 4 ways to prepare our hearts before receiving the Eucharist.

Litany of Trust

Welcome to our Parish Website!

Saint Albert the Great Parish is a Catholic Community united in our Lord Jesus Christ. As the Body of Christ, we are committed to building a vibrant parish family where the Word of God is proclaimed, studied, and integrated into daily living. Our worship, in Word and Sacrament, celebrates the presence of God in our midst. We witness the Gospel through our actions of care and concerns for those around us. We take the time to discuss the gifts and needs of our parish and develop lay leadership accordingly.  (Parish Mission Statement)

Parish News and Events!

Trust and Hope

Archbishop Perez’s invites all Catholics in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to learn more about the vision for us to come together to encounter each other with open hearts to build the strongest possible Church of Philadelphia.  You can visit the webpage that lays out this vision for the Church of Philadelphia by going to https://trustandhope.org/.  We encourage all parishioners to read the Archbishop’s pastoral letter found here, and to be a part of the conversation.  Listening sessions are being held throughout the Archdiocese, and we are hosting a session on Wednesday, March 19 from 7:00 – 8:30 PM in our parish hall.  If you plan to attend on March 19, please email Cindi O’Gara to register.

Disciple Maker Index

As many of you may remember, our parish participated in the Disciple Maker Index survey (DMI) in early 2022. This was a tool which allowed us a snapshot of our community life and a better understanding of each of our experiences of the parish.  In connection with the Archbishop’s Pastoral Plan and the assistance of the Catholic Leadership Institute, parishioners are invited to participate in this survey.  Jesus calls us to be missionary disciples so that our parish can thrive and be a place for others to grow together in faith. The DMI survey is a great help in this regard as it allows us to assess our greatest opportunities and strengths.  The 10 minute survey can be accessed here until April 10th. All responses will be confidential, and the parish will only receive information about the community as a whole.

● Your input helps strengthen our parish.
● Results help leadership prepare for the future.
● A report of the findings will be shared with the parish.

If you prefer a paper copy, you may pick up your survey at the Rectory Office during normal business hours.  Some copies will also be available on the back table in Church. To submit the completed paper survey, please drop it off at the rectory by April 1.  Thank you for your generous help with this important project!

The Little Black Books

The Little Black Books for Lent will be available in Church the weekend of March 1 – 2.  These simple daily devotionals provide a 6-minute reflection for each day of Lent and make a wonderful companion on our Lenten journey.  Supply is limited so make sure to grab on for your family.

St. Albert Scrip Program

Scrip is an amazingly successful fundraising program that benefits St. Albert the Great Parish and helps parish families pay tuition for Catholic education. Scrip turns everyday shopping into cash for our parish when families use retail gifts certificates for everyday purchases (like gas and groceries) instead of their credit/debit cards or cash. For more information on how Scrip works and the Gift Cards available for purchase, click here.
