St. Alban's

Labor Day Observance

St. Alban's office will be closed

Monday, September 5, in observance of Labor Day!

TO NOTE:  According to history.com, Labor Day "was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century and became a federal holiday in 1894."  It is a celebration of workers and their achievements, originating during one of American labor history’s most  dismal chapters.  WE SALUTE YOU ALL!

The office will re-open on

Tuesday, September 6 at 10:00 a.m.

Make it a great holiday.
