During this Fall's Encountering Christ program, parishioners have been asked to take a moment and consider how they encounter Christ at St. Alphonsus Liguori, and to pray about how they can serve as stewards to support the works of the parish.
With gratitude and thanksgiving, we are able to offer our gifts and service to praise God for all the blessings He has bestowed upon us. Our gifts of time, talent and treasure can help others continue to encounter Christ ... in similar or different ways than our own.How do you encounter Christ? Let us know here.
