SUMMARY:Feast of St. Lawrence Celebrations - 2019
DESCRIPTION:\n\nEvery parish church is dedicated to the Lord by the act of 
 consecration done by a bishop. Then the church receives a title. By the co
 nsecration a church building is separated from common and profane to a sac
 red use. Our parish church is dedicated to the Lord by the title of Saint 
 Lawrence\, Deacon and Martyr. As a parish community\, each year we celebra
 te the Solemnity of Our Patron Saint on August 10th if it falls on Sunday\
 , otherwise the celebration is transferred to the Sunday after August 10th
 . This year we will hold our annual solemnity on Sunday\, August 11th. The
 re will be a solemn Mass at 11:00 a.m. followed by the Eucharistic process
 ion\, veneration of the relic\, and a social meal in the parish hall.\nInv
 itation to all Deacons\nThis year\, in honour of our Patron Saint's vocati
 on as a Deacon\, we have extended an invitation to the Deacons of the Dioc
 ese of Hamilton and the Diocesan Deaconate office to help us celebrate thi
 s feast.  The deacon's present including our own Deacon Carmelo will assi
 st Father Peter and join us for our community meal after Mass.\nNovena\nTo
  mark our annual feast\, we will pray the Novena to St. Lawrence beginning
  August 2nd. A novena is a series of public or private prayers that are sa
 id for nine days to obtain special graces\, to implore special favours or 
 to make special petitions. The word ‘novena’ comes from the Latin nove
 m\, which means ‘nine’. The nine-day prayer recalls the nine days that
  the Apostles along with the Blessed Virgin Mary and other women spent in 
 prayer between the day of the Ascension of the Lord and Pentecost Sunday.\
 nThe Novena to St. Lawrence will be said daily from August 2nd to August 1
 0th during the Mass. Praying the Novena we will thank God for all the grac
 es we have received since our last annual feast and we will implore specia
 l favours for our parish community.\nVolunteers\nAnyone who can help with 
 set up the day before the Feast or who would like to make a contribution t
 o the community meal can contact the Parish Office.
