Join us this Advent for a spiritual journey that will help us to prepare for Jesus’ birth and experience true transformation in this powerful season. This program is an opportunity for our whole parish community to enter into the season of Advent intentionally and receive the grace God wants to give us during this holy season. All participants are invited to join us weekly starting Monday, November 25, in the church chapel from 7:00 - 8:15 PM for video, reflection, prayer, and discussion using Adore with Fr. John Burns. You'll also receive a copy of Adore: A Guided Advent Journal for Prayer and Meditation, an inspirational journal with daily Scripture meditations, stunning artwork, reflection questions, prayer, and space for journaling that'll help you reclaim the sacred sense of longing and joyful hope at the heart of Advent.

The companion book, Adore: A Guided Advent Journal for Prayer and Meditation, is necessary for participation. The book will be distributed to everyone on November 25. The cost is $10, which covers the cost of the companion book.

Complete and submit the registration form here. You may submit payment for the companion book on November 25, or drop your payment off at the rectory marked to the attention of Dennis Mueller - Advent Series. Payment may be made in the form of cash or check (payable to St. Albert the Great Church).

Each year during elections, the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops provides guidance on voting. There is a great deal of information available on their website. An excellent document produced by the USCCB is its Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, which can be accessed via the link above, or downloaded directly here.

Through the establishment of Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) and Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) programs, BLOCS donors can receive up to a 90% tax credit against their personal PA state tax liability by making their gift through BLOCS. The process is easy and costs nothing as you are merely redirecting 90% your PA tax liability directly to BLOCS to support Catholic Education. What better way to have a say in how your tax dollars are spent! For more information visit the BLOCS website.
