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.

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!

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.
