St. Alphonsus Catholic Church

Welcome to St. Alphonsus Parish

Year of the Priest June 2009 – June 2010

What’s New in the Parish

Sunday, August 1st is the Feast Day of St. Alphonsus Liguori

This year St. Alphonsus’ feast day falls on a Sunday. We will celebrate his feast day at all the masses of this weekend.

We will have a special celebration at the 10:15 mass to remember our patron saint. The celebration will include the appropriate readings and prayers as they pertain to his day. At this mass, we will also bless our new mural of St. Alphonsus’ hometown of Naples which will provide a beautiful background to his statue in the chapel. There will be refreshments afterwards in the narthex.

There will also be an opportunity for you to venerate the first class relic of St. Alphonsus at all the masses. The relic is presently displayed in the chapel.

We hope you will be in town to come to this celebration. We know it’s a busy vacation week! If you are not able to attend, we will try to put some pictures up on the website afterwards.
