We the people of St. Albert the Great Roman Catholic Parish are called to be
A community of believers rooted in the love of God,
Inspired by the Gospel of Jesus Christ,
Led by the Holy Spirit
And centered in the Eucharist.
 
Through our stewardship of God’s gifts,
We welcome all people,
Support family life,
Engage in life-long faith formation,
And reach out to others in need with love and compassion.
