Sign up for Overnight Adoration
We are launching our perpetual adoration campaign to fulfill Fr. Travis' goal of bringing 24/7 adoration to St. Alphonsus. We need every parishioner to sign up for a
regular adoration time; even 15 minutes each month helps!
Sign up below or in the narthex this weekend and help our parish become a place of perpetual adoration.

St. Monica Ministry Holy Hour TONIGHT at 6:30
Pray for Those Fallen Away From the Faith
All are invited on the Feast Day of St. Monica tonight to pray for friends and family who have fallen away from the faith. The Holy Hour will take place in the church.
There will be time for quiet prayer and stories about
St. Monica, who prayed for years for the conversion
of her son, St. Augustine. There will also be opportunities to light candles for our loved ones, as well as put their names in the book of intentions.
If you cannot come for the entire hour, please feel free to drop by for a few minutes as you are able. The
St. Monica Ministry meets every third Thursday at 6:30pm in the St. Brigid room in the All Souls Center.

SHE Shall Be Called Woman
Women's Ministry Starts Sept. 15
Watch Deacon Tim's Homily:
Even the Most Sinful Can Become Saints
In this homily, Deacon Tim Perry explores the biblical foundation of the papacy, beginning with the striking parallel between Eliakim in the Old Testament, who receives the key to the House of David, and St. Peter in the Gospel to whom Jesus entrusts the keys to the Kingdom.
