NEWS FOR YOU
ABOUT OUR CHURCH
A Church That Celebrates Culture
Where African-American tradition meets timeless beauty.
Our vibrant family is predominantly African-American, and our liturgies authentically reflect this rich heritage, elevated by the soul-stirring harmonies of two dynamic Gospel choirs. Here, worship isn't just attended - it's experienced. As our pastor says, "People don't just go to Mass here, they come to worship".
OUR NEW PASTOR
Father Royce Thomas, C.Ss.R., is the new pastor of St. Alphonsus “The Rock” Catholic Church. A Redemptorist priest with a passion for building faith-filled communities, Father Royce recently served as chaplain and campus minister at Immaculata University, where he was known for inspiring service, prayer, and social justice. Now leading The Rock, he brings his warm leadership and commitment to joyful discipleship, welcoming all who seek deeper connection in faith and community.
