What an amazing milestone moment it was to have our new crucifix blessed by Bishop Vásquez! Over 150 people showed up for the blessing. Check out some of the photos from the event at https://saintalbert.org/photoalbums/blessing-of-our-new-crucifix-by-bishop-joe-vasquez

This event has been cancelled due to the illness of the presenter.

We are reaching out to our community after the storm last night. We will be setting up our own disaster relief fund to help the impacted parishioners on our VANCO (https://tinyurl.com/ybfsr2jn), and we'll let you know as soon as the selection is available. Catholic Charity Central Texas is also putting together a disaster response relief team, and you can donate on their website at https://ccctx.org. Please stay safe and pray for everyone impacted by the storm. 

Saint Albert the Great will be joining Pope Francis in his request to join the Consecration of Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on Friday, March 25th, around 12:30 PM. You can attend the noon Mass in person or via Livestream to participate in this consecration. Please join us to pray together as a family.

Check out this invitational video from Jill Wierzbowski, one of our core team members who are helping with the event!

Called By Name Sunday is an opportunity for us as individuals to be open to God’s calling in our lives and it is also a time for us to allow God to call others through our invitation.

We have been updated that water should be restored to the St. Albert the Great Campus by 3-4 PM on Sunday. We are planning on normal Sunday masses and normal Adoration chapel hours. However, RE is being cancelled since we know children will need bathroom access. Thank you for your patience while the city fixes the water break that one of their contractors caused. La ciudad de Austin está diciendo que vamos a tener agua otra vez a las 3-4 AM el 7 de Noviembre (Domingo). Nuestro plan es tener todos las actividades normales en Domingo. Gracias por su paciencia.

A contractor for the City of Austin has ruptured a water line at the intersection of Metric and Bittern Hollow. This has cut off water to the St. Albert the Great Campus for at least our Saturday masses. We recommend accessing St. Albert by coming from Braker to Bittern Hollow or from the St. Albert entrance directly off Metric. It is hard to access Bittern Hollow at the stop light by Metric right now. La Ciudad de Austin rompió una línea de agua cerca de la intersección de Metric y Bittern Hollow. Los edificios no tienen agua ahorita por esta razón. También hay mucha construcción cerca de la intersección de Metric y Bittern Hollow por esta razón.
