From the Pastor’s Desk : Holy Trinity

Published / by St. Lawrence Hamilton

“O most Holy Trinity, undivided unity;
Holy God, mighty God, God immortal be adored.”

This traditional hymn reminds us of the very mystery of our faith: the belief in the Holy Trinity. Everyday we begin our prayers with the sign of the cross saying the Holy names of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The church prays to the Father through the Son in the Holy Spirit.

St. Lawrence School’s graduation ceremony will be held this Thursday, June 20th at our church. The graduates will thank the Lord and their teachers for all the good they have received during their 8 years at St. Lawrence School. We wish them an abundance of God’s blessing in their future endeavours.

The installation of the air conditioning system and the renovation of the men’s washroom have been mostly completed. We hope that they will serve the parishioners and visitors well in years to come. We will be informed about the final costs of the projects at a later date. We appreciate all the donations to the projects we have already received. May the Lord, through the intersession of St. Lawrence the Martyr, bless our benefactors abundantly.

This Friday, June 21st we observe the memorial of St. Aloysius Gonzaga who is a patron saint of young men and of alter servers. He served the sick and the dying when the plague broke out in Rome in 1591. He became infected with the plagues and died at the age of 23. He was canonized in 1726.

On this feast day let us keep our altar servers in our prayers!

God Bless,

Father Peter
