Welcome to St. Aloysius Catholic Church Website
Christ The Lord is Risen Today!!
Alleluia!!!
EASTER GREETINGS!! For all of us as Catholics (Christians), Easter is the highlight of our Faith. If Jesus who died for our sins had not risen from the dead, our faith would be in vain. Let us give thanks to God, our Father, for raising His Son in order for us to gain everlasting life.

Beacons of Light
Our final Family of Parishes, C6 - St. Aloysius, Queen of Peace, St. Joseph, St. Julie Billiart, and St. Peter in Chains has been announced. Please pray for our family of parishes and our priests as we move forward.
Priest assignments were released on February 14 and become effective on July 1. Our family's new pastor will be Fr. Rick Walling, with Fr. Jeff Silver and Fr. Ed Hoffman as Parochial Vicars.
Fr. Jim will be moving to the SW5 family of parishes, which include St. Margaret Mary, St. Ann, St. James the Greater, and St. Bernard of Clairvaux.
LENTEN MISSION GIVING
Thanks to the generosity of St. Aloysius parishioners, we have been able to make a positive impact for both the Little Sisters of Mary Immaculate of Gulu and H.O.P.E.-Full Pastures. For the sisters, we provided resources for emergency and patient trolleys, 250 mosquito nets, 45 Mama Kits, medicine and other urgent needs. Additionally, we motivated additional volunteer interest and engagement for H.O.P.E.-Full Pastures, and you also provided some needed material donations as well as the finances to support services for another 8 children and their families. I am sure God will continue to bless our parish family as He is never outdone in generosity.

Parish Mission Statement
We, the people of St. Aloysius Parish, are called together by God through our Roman Catholic faith to be an active, visible community where the faith flourishes and grows. As such, we acknowledge God's love, Jesus Christ's redemption, the power of the Holy Spirit, and our individual and collective membership in the body of Christ. It is the privilege, responsibility, and challenge of that membership to manifest God's unconditional love for all His creation. This effort to be Christ-like will be especially evident in our parish worship, evangelization, and service.

Spiritual Communion
For those who are unable to receive Holy Communion, you can make this prayer of Spiritual Communion a source of grace in the midst of difficulty:
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
Additional MINISTERS ARE NEEDED!
