Friday August 21st, St. Alphonsus Youth Group will be going to watch the Pittsburgh Pirates play the Cincinnati Reds. Our own Fr. Murphy will also be going with us. We will be meeting at the rectory at 6 pm and carpooling to the game. The cost is $10 per ticket. Feel free to bring extra money for snacks.  Please call Mary at the rectory office to let us know as soon as possible if you can attend so that we can get a count for how many will be attending. 

The Holy Bible calls the Church “the pillar and foundation of truth” (1 Tim. 3:15). There is so much misunderstanding today about the Church’s beliefs, among Catholics and non-Catholics alike. It is more important than ever, therefore, for Catholics to fully understand what the Church teaches and why she teaches it, to strengthen our relationship with Jesus Christ first and foremost, but also to better equip us to charitably share our faith with others. To this end the Religious Education Program has made the below slideshows available for download:

• Sacrament of Reconciliation
• Sacrament of Confirmation
