Welcome to St. Alexander's!
Dear Friends,
St. Alexander Parish is a loving, caring, faith-filled community. We think we have something very special - a warm, close, active and friendly group of parishioners who have accepted the Lord into their life, and in loving God, have come to serve Him.
The Gospel of John tells us He is the true vine, and we are the branches. Jesus says if we are connected to Him, we will bear much fruit. We are proud of our parish because we are connected to Jesus, not only through our Eucharistic celebrations, but also in our service to one another.
If you are in our geographical area, please come worship with us.
Love and prayers,
Rev. Tuan Van Nguyen, Pastor
At the Easter Vigil, 2008, several adults were Baptiz ed into the Catholic Church and/or received their First Communion and were Confirmed. On April 8, the eighth graders in our school and religious education program were Confirmed by Bishop J. Peter Sartin, and in May the second graders of our school and religious education program - having already received their 1st Sacrament of Reconciliation - received their First Communion. Parishioners of St. Alexander's congratulate all of these and their families.
 Fr. Tuan inspected the all different colors of roses which parishioners ordered to remember their mothers, living and deceased, on Mothers' Day. A similar display was composed of red and white carnations which were ordered to remember fathers on Fathers' Day.
 St. Alexander Parishioners rejoice in our newly refurbished church and new gathering space. The newest update was the overhead monitor and projector* which allows parishioners who must be seated in the Gathering Space for Masses when seating in the church is full. *though we do not yet have donors for these. They are also continuing to support the 'Pay Off the Loan' for these through regular monthly contributions in the ivory envelopes in their envelope packets, as well as continuing to use our Memorial Gift program to honor a living friend or relative or remember deceased family members or friends with full or partial Memorial Gifts. There are many such remaining gifts: center aisle pews and side pews, a number of doors and windows, even a full and part of another Stained Glass Light box in the Gathering Space. Do consider such a Memorial for one of your loved ones. Such gifts will help us pay off our loan as quickly as possible, and reduce the amount of interest we are paying.
The Memorial Book and its initial pages of contributors to the Church Capital improvement campaigns of 1993, 1999 and 2003 (through June 1, 2007) is permanently displayed at the Main/east entrance to the Church/Gathering Space/Parish Center. Memorial Gift donors and those who give a new general contribution after June 1, 2007, will have their names engraved on pages to be added later; in the meantime names of donors and their gifts are temporarily posted there.
