Bishop Steven J. Lopes shares an Easter message in 2021 about the reason for our hope in Jesus Christ.

For the first time ever in St. Alban's parish history, we'll be celebrating the full Sacred Triduum in the Ordinariate form as a parish community! And we'll be bringing four parish members into full communion with the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil.

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.

Please join us for St. Alban's Jan. 22 holy hour on this 48th anniversary of Roe v. Wade as we gather to pray for a just and loving society that supports & protects all mothers and their children from conception to natural death.

Fr. Davis is leading classes in how to pray the Liturgy of the Hours in the Ordinariate with Divine Worship: Daily Office, with both virtual and in-person settings.

St. Alban's is celebrating a 10 pm Christmas Eve Mass and on Christmas Day, an 11 am Mass for the Nativity of the Lord. Confessions are available as well before both Masses.

CANCELLED: With the increasing COVID-19 caseload in Monroe County, St. Alban's will not be having our 4th annual Advent Festival of Lessons & Carols on Saturday, Dec. 19 at 7 pm.

This Tuesday, Dec. 1st, is a global day of charitable giving, and it’s a great way to celebrate St. Alban’s, tell our story, and invite people to support our missionary parish and its evangelization in the Rochester area.

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.

National Catholic Register: The imminent publication of two editions of Divine Worship: Daily Office are a triumph for the Ordinariates and a testament to Pope Benedict XVI’s ecumenical vision.

In response to the pope's invitation, St. Alban's is adding special times to pray the Office of the Dead in local cemeteries and confession times for the whole month of November for the sake of the faithful departed.

Father Davis shares some great developments for St. Alban's Catholic Church from the recent Ordinariate Clergy Assembly, especially on the Ordinariate's new Divine Office book.

St. Alban's is organizing new parish fellowship activities through the month of October.

If your faith has been enriched by St Alban’s Catholic Church and the Ordinariate of the Chair of St Peter, please register to join the Ordinariate and help our parish community make the next milestone of its canonical journey to full parish status.

Effective Oct. 1, the commutation of the Sunday obligation applies only to those who are over 60 years of age, or anyone who is at higher risk because of an underlying medical condition, such as heart disease, diabetes, COPD, kidney disease, or are immunocompromised.

Next time you go shopping, please remember Bethany House, buy one or two extra items out of love, and bring them to church on Sunday. Learn more about how St. Alban's can help these women in need ...
