Discover Your God-Given "Charisms" Through Called & Gifted
Starts This Wednesday, October 21
Called and Gifted is a program that helps to uncover how the Holy Spirit is uniquely at work in your life. This discernment process helps you recognize the charisms (spiritual gifts) God has given you for the good of others. The program is a mixture of videos and discussion diving into topics such as discernment, intentional discipleship and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus is waiting for you!

Eagle Scout Project
My name is Joseph, and I am a
16-year-old Life Scout with Troop 358
at St. Alphonsus Liguori.
For my Eagle Scout project, I will be building a new fence around the patio outside Fr. Travis’ office. The new fence will provide Father with more privacy and replace the existing partial fence, which is old and deteriorating.
I am looking to raise $2,000 for the materials and supplies needed for the project. Any donation, big or small, would help me reach my goal and make this project possible. Please click the button on the right if you're able to support my project. Thank you!

Fr. Andrew Morand on the Podcast
Father Andrew Morand, who grew up at St. Alphonsus, joins the Holy Banter podcast to talk about his unexpected journey from curious kid to diocesan priest.
Father Andrew shares how hearing the word “transubstantiation” during First Communion prep first captured his imagination, why he once thought priests knew secret “magic words” and how retreats, Catholic community, prayer and a growing desire to enter more deeply into the spiritual life eventually led him to discern the priesthood.
