I know what you’re thinking…how do you move a church? Well, we didn’t but we’ve added a separate address to the church. From now on if you wish to send mail to St.Lawrence our new address is 125 Picton Street E. Hamilton ON L8L 0C5. Don’t worry, you still go to mass through the same doors in the same place.
Advent is a season of hope and anticipation. All Catholics are invited to celebrate the season the Filipino Way, with a nine-day Novena of Masses at Saint Lawrence Church. This year the Filipino community working in our community decided to celebrate this novena in our Parish which will be held Dec. 16 at 8: 00 pm. Each day for nine days, Mass will be held at 8:00 p.m. culminating with the last Mass on Dec. 24, Christmas Eve. At the final Mass, parishioners are invited to bring the Baby Jesus from their Nativity sets to be blessed.
