St. Alban's has both Stations of the Cross with Benediction, extra opportunities for Confession this Lent, and a full Holy Week schedule.

The Lent Ember Days are Feb. 24, 26, and 27, and are an opportunity for us to fast and pray for the Lord Jesus to send new vocations to ministry in His holy Church, and for Christians to take up bravely their vocations in the world.

St. Alban's is aiming for 100% parishioner participation in the annual campaign, which allows us to both support the Ordinariate's evangelization, but also "pay it forward" so other parish communities can flourish.

Pre-Lent is a preparatory season for Lent that the Ordinariate brings to Catholics as part of our spiritual patrimony from the English Church.

The Ember days are four seasonal times of prayer and fasting, and an ancient part of the Ordinariate's English Catholic patrimony. The Advent Ember Days in 2020 are Wed. Dec. 2nd, Fri. Dec. 4th, and Sat. Dec. 5th.

Bishop Steven Lopes, bishop of the Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter, which covers North America, discussed with the National Catholic Register the new divine office for the Ordinariate and how it completes the Ordinariate’s liturgical books. But he also provided insights into the rich theology of the Liturgy of the Hours, and why all Catholics should really embrace it for a full liturgical life in the home and the parish as envisioned by the Second Vatican Council.
