Annunciation Catholic Church

About this church

Annunciation Catholic Church in Albemarle publishes a weekly Mass calendar rather than presenting every time as permanently recurring. For the current posted week, Mass is scheduled Saturday at 5 p.m., Sunday at 9:30 a.m., and Sunday in Spanish at 12:15 p.m.; weekday availability varies, with some dates explicitly marked “no daily Mass.” This date-specific approach is more accurate than assuming the same weekday pattern indefinitely. Visitors should review the homepage for their actual week, especially around clergy travel, holy days, and parish events.

Catholic life in Stanly County was initially served by visiting priests, with some families traveling by train to Salisbury for Mass. The parish's historical account traces local visits into the 1920s and the later establishment of a permanent Albemarle congregation. Current faith formation requires students preparing for First Confession, First Communion, or Confirmation to register and participate for at least two years, with weekly Mass attendance expected. Baptism is arranged by appointment, and couples are asked to contact the pastor at least six months before marriage. The official site also provides a livestream, bulletin, parish calendar, cemetery and columbarium information, and a Remind system. For a first visit, the weekend schedule is the clearest anchor; recurring weekday service times should not be inferred from one posted week.
