Today was our final School Mass before the summer holidays. Many students participated in the various readings and prayers, and the Mass concluded with an energetic singing of “Our God is an Awesome God”. At the conclusion of the Mass, Father Peter thanked the Musicians, teachers and all the students who helped with the school Masses throughout the school year. In particular he thanked all the altar servers for their assistance at the school Masses this year and encouraged each of them to continue to serve at Mass throughout the summer at Sunday Masses. He also encouraged all the students to consider becoming an altar server.

On behalf of the Catholic Women’s League, Jean Sweeney presented two of our altar servers with awards for their faith-filled service to St. Lawrence Church. Olivia Jolie and Cameron Jolie were recognized for their dedication and leadership in their responsibilities not just at school Masses but also on Sunday where they have helped to guide and support other students to become great altar servers. Congratulations Olivia and Cameron!

Mr. DiMartino, in his closing remarks thanked Father Peter and all those who have assisted with Masses and the sacraments celebrated throughout the year, and noted the integral part that the Parish plays in the faith life of the community. He encouraged the students to continue to participate in Sunday Mass throughout the Summer. We offer Mr. DiMartino our best wishes as he leaves St. Lawrence for his new assignment at St. Michael’s.

To all the students, teachers and staff of St. Lawrence school – Have a safe happy summer and See you at Mass on Sunday!
