Time-honored worship for today's Christians.

 

 

Welcome!

Thank you for worshipping with us at Saint Alban's! We are happy that you are here. All baptized Christians are welcome to fully participate in worship and take Communion alongside members of the parish.

The Church of Saint Alban is now the oldest Episcopal Church in El Paso, and part of the Diocese of the Rio Grande. The parish is moving in exciting directions as we strive to continue share Christ's message of love and forgiveness in a stressed-out world.  Come and join us as we move toward our 100th year of common witness and worship. For more detailed information about our Parish Life and ministries, our Parish Profile is now available for viewing and download in the "About Us" section of our site, or just click HERE.  

 

 

St. Alban's Advent and Christmas Calendar of Events

Please join us during this expectant and joyful season at St. Alban's Episcopal Church.

 

Taizé Contemplative Mass 

 

Wednesdays during Advent (Dec. 4, 11 and 18), we will gather for evening Taizé Masses of chant, quiet prayer, and contemplation at 6:00 PM. After services there will be a time of fellowship with cider and hot chocolate in the Parish Hall. Please join us for a respite from the hectic, secular “pre-Christmas" season, and rest in quiet Advent contemplation as we await the birth (and return) of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

 

 

Ted Howden Feast Day Observance

 

The Reverend John Tober and the good folk of St. James in Las Cruces invite all in the Southwest Deanery for the observance of the Feast of Ted Howden on Wednesday, December 11, at 12:00 Noon.
The service will begin with the live stream of the Liturgy of the Word from the Cathedral, in the parish hall. Then all will process into the church for the Liturgy of the Table/Holy Communion.

 

 

Join us for a Blue Christmas Service, Thurs. Dec 18...

 

 

Blue Christmas services acknowledge the sadness some of us feel at Christmas time. During Advent and Christmas seasons the expectation is that we will be filled with joy, love, peace, and hope. The reality is that for many this season also is filled with sadness, grief, and depression.

This service of prayer, contemplation, and healing sets apart time to remember our loved ones who have died and seeks to give comfort for the other losses we may have experienced this year. It seems especially important to come together this year in the wake of the mass shooting.

 

 

Wednesday Noon Mass

Every Wednesday  we meet for Noon Mass in the Lady Chapel. (There will be no Noon Mass During Advent.)

After Mass we all  gather for a brown bag lunch and fellowship in the Parish Hall.
