Celebrate With Us!
Sept. 25 Eucharist at St. Mary’s
We give thanks with the Diocese of Alabama for the incredible success of the diocesan Equipping the Saints capital campaign! Saint Andrew’s vestry pledged $2,500 toward this effort, joining parishes across Alabama in support of our shared mission and vision for the future.

Please plan to join us Sunday, September 14, for Rally Day, our time to celebrate being back together as a church family, and also a time to invite your friends and neighbors to be part of our growing parish. See you then!

"Building Bridges, Not Walls"

Join us Sept 26-28 at Camp McDowell as we explore building relationships across differences, practicing empathy, and embodying Christ-like peace in a program led by students from UNA in Florence. This retreat is for ages 18-24.

Alabama Arise Annual Meeting

Saturday, Sept. 27
Saint Andrew’s is grateful to be part of Alabama Arise, a statewide, member-led coalition that works to advance policies improving the lives of Alabamians who are marginalized by poverty. Guided by faith-based and community voices from across Alabama, Arise brings people together to focus on what matters most: alleviating poverty and its effects.

The Birmingham Branch of the AAUW (American Association of University Women) will be holding their opening meeting of 2025-2026 at 10:30am on September 23 in Trinity Commons Student Center. We would like to invite members of Saint Andrews — both men and women — to join us for the meeting and the luncheon following.

Hear from the Organist & Choirmaster about Sunday’s Communion Motet and the life of Henry Purcell.

The Parish Choir returns to the 10:30 am Mass this Sunday, September 7!

Saint Andy’s Pet Food Pantry will be open this Saturday, September 6, alongside Saint Andy’s Pantry food distribution! 

Saint Andy’s Clothing Closet will be open this Saturday, September 6, alongside Saint Andy’s Pantry food distribution! 

This Tuesday, Sept. 2, we'll celebrate at the 12:15pm our monthly requiem mass for the victims of gun violence in Birmingham, offering prayers for those who died in August of this year and the same month one year ago.

Thanks to the generosity of donor, we will soon introduce Sunday lectionary inserts. These will include the appointed lectionary readings, the Collect of the Day, and other seasonal details. We hope the inserts make it easier to follow along in the liturgy (and perhaps even serve as a bookmark for the Prayer Book and Hymnal!), while also encouraging parishioners to take them home as a resource for prayer and reflection throughout the week.
