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.

CURRENT PROJECTS

St. Alphonsus "Rock" Church has long sought to restore its stained-glass windows, which date back to the 1904 World's Fair and have since degraded.

ABOUT US

ABOUT US

ABOUT US

The Rock's African-American identity has deep historical roots dating to its earliest days. It is believed that In 1887, Venerable Augustus Tolton, the first African-American Catholic priest in America, visited St. Alphonsus and offered Mass. This connection to pioneering Black Catholic leadership established the church as an important site in African-American Catholic history.
