I’m a St. Alberts lifer. I remember I first got involved with the church as a server and thinking how cool it was to help Fr. Ryan with Mass. As I got older, I helped with the church festival, served at Sharing and Caring Hands, and went on a mission trip with Fr. Richards and the best group of people anyone could ask for. I’ve also participated in a CHRP retreat and most recently, Alpha. What all these have in common is, that none of these things was something I would have volunteered to do on my own, but every single one of them I am grateful that I did. They say it takes a village to raise a child, but I would say it takes a great Parish, so any chance to give back is ‘bear’-ly a sacrifice.
