St. Alban's parish priest encourages all the faithful during the Covid-19 pandemic's global suffering to live out our baptismal identity in Jesus Christ as priests, prophets, and kings, and take an active and living responsibility to add our prayers, needs, intentions, and sacrifices to the Mass which is our spiritual worship.
On March 27, Pope Francis will give his blessing to "the City [of Rome] and the World" over the coronavirus pandemic -- the blessing is done usually only at Christmas and Easter -- and impart a plenary indulgence on all the faithful who watch live on March 27 at 1 PM ET.
With the arrival of Covid-19 in Monroe County, please read this message from our parish priest. We're all hands on deck as a parish to maintain sacramental and pastoral care as St. Alban's Catholic Church.
The Ember days are four seasonal times of prayer and fasting in the Catholic Church. The Lent Ember days in 2020 are Wed. March 4, Fri. March 6, and Sat., March 7.
