For adults:

Using Jesus’ parable as your starting point, describe in your own words who will be welcome and why they will be welcome, at the eternal banquet of God.

For young adults: 

Each week we are invited to participate in Mass. When you are at Mass, how well do you really participate? How could you be more present in heart, mind, and spirit?

 

For children:  

Why is it important for you to do what Jesus asks of you?

November is the month to remember . . .

On November 1 each year we celebrate the lives of our deceased loved ones.   Everyone is invited to place a photograph of someone special they have lost in the Narthex beginning the weekend of October 25.  The picture should be in a stand-up frame and include your name and telephone number on the back.  You may indicate your loved one’s name on the picture if you wish.  Pictures will remain in the Narthex until the weekend before Thanksgiving, November 22 and 23.  Please pick up your photos at that time.

Our Military

It has been the policy of St. Al's to offer our parish community an opportunity to pray for those parish members and their relatives who are serving in the military.  The names of those serving our country are listed in the bulletin, and in some cases pictures are also on display in the Narthex.  In our efforts to keep the list current, we ask that you review the list and notify the rectory, 255-7642, of any changes.  We appreciate your assistance so that we may continue to honor and pray for those currently serving in the military.
