All families participating in the sacraments are encouraged to join us in the church on Sundays for Sunday Mass at 11:00 a.m.

This summer, our scheduled Mass times are as follows:

Monday – No Mass

We remember on this day the many Irish people who were some of the very first parishioners, and who helped to build St. Lawrence the Martyr Parish. St. Patrick pray for us!

The inspiration for #TheBibleSpeaks comes from Pope Francis’ letter for the conclusion of the Year of Mercy, Misericordia et misera, #7, in which he states, “It would be beneficial if every Christian community, on one Sunday of the liturgical year, could renew its efforts to make the Sacred Scriptures better known and more widely diffused. It would be a Sunday given over entirely to the word of God, so as to appreciate the inexhaustible riches contained in that constant dialogue between the Lord and his people.”
