Welcome to St. Alban’s Episcopal Church, we’re very glad you’re here! 

Please note: Our parish newsletter, “The Cross And Sword,” will re-start in September, but on a quarterly basis going forward. The publication months/dates for the newsletter will be March, June, September, and December of each year. This change reflects the changing patterns of how people receive information; if this change doesn’t work, we’ll try something else!

Calling all people interested in becoming a Crucifer or a Lay Eucharistic Minister (LEM) at the altar on Sunday mornings! We will be providing instruction/training for anyone who would like to explore this way of serving; please see Elaine Fazzaro or Fr. Michael. The date for instruction is to be determined.
