Ladies of St. Lawrence

We welcome our seminarian, Jesús Alonso Ochoa, as he speaks to us about “Mary Magdalene: From Encounter to Mission”. The reflection will focus on Mary Magdalene as a model of discipleship, highlighting how her personal encounter with Jesus led her to become a faithful follower and first witness of the Resurrection. All ladies of the parish 18+ are invited to join us.

Join us for our Silent Auction Fundraiser in support of teens attending Catholic Heart Work Camp this summer. This special evening will include dinner, fellowship, and the opportunity to bid on a variety of baskets and items — all while helping our teens grow in faith through service and mission. All proceeds will help offset the cost of transportation, lodging, meals, and registration so that more teens can participate in this life-changing Catholic service experience. We invite all parishioners to come out, support our youth, and be part of this meaningful night.

Nursery Needs
Our parish nursery is in need of pull up diapers (2T & up) or diapers sizes 4 and up. Please drop off donations in the parish office (label for Nursery).
We are also in urgent need of additional adult volunteers. For several months, a small group of dedicated parishioners have faithfully given their time to care for our youngest members. Out of respect for their generosity and commitment, we are asking more mothers and fathers to consider stepping forward to help. Even one hour of your time makes a real difference. When you volunteer, you give one of our current volunteers the gift of an hour to spend with their own family. Together, we can ensure that our nursery remains a safe, welcoming place for the children of our parish. Call Darleine in the parish office for more information.
