Feast of Saint Albert
news: 17 September 2026

Happy Feast of Saint Albert of Jerusalem.
While he was Patriarch of Jerusalem (1206-1214), Saint Albert wrote a formula vitae, or way of life, for the hermits living on Mount Carmel, the founding community of the Carmelite Order. Often referred to as the Rule of St Albert, the document reveals a deep familiarity with Scripture and an authentic understanding and expression of Christian spirituality. On the 14th September 1214, Albert was attacked and killed during a procession of the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, in Acre, Israel.
The Shrine of Saint Jude has a beautiful icon of Saint Albert.
