St.Laurence Feast Day
Tuesday, August 10, 2010
7:00pm
We’ve been growing as a parish family for 25 years. Let’s celebrate with many of the priests and deacons who have been a part of our St. Laurence family since 1985, at a special Mass at 7:00pm in the church.
St. Laurence “Acts of Kindness”
St.Laurence Feast Day
Tuesday, August 10, 2010
Each year on the feast day of St. Laurence, beginning in our 25th anniversary year, we are asking each member of our parish family to do something special for a stranger. Let the Spirit move you to reach out in kindness to unburden, encourage, and perhaps change the course of someone’s day! Think about how you might lend a hand to someone. It doesn’t need to be very involved or require great planning, but let the Spirit move you to serve another. Go make someone’s ordinary day just a little more extra-ordinary!
25 YEARS - IN HIS HANDS
Psalm 138:8
You stretch out your hand and save me;
Your hand will do all things for me;
Your love, O Lord, is eternal.
Discard not the work of your hands.
We can use your help.
PHOTOGRAPHS
We're collecting photographs taken at parish events over the past 25 years. If you have some to share, please drop them off at the parish office or email them to Sharon Ehrenkranz at sehrenkranz@stlaurence.org. Got a lot of old hardcopy photos? We'd be so grateful if you could scan and save as jpegs to a CD or flash drive. If not, we can scan and return the photos to you.
MEMORABILIA
We'd like to display memorabilia - old bulletins, t-shirts, models, projects, albums, uniforms, you-name-it - at our special display and reception in the Parish Hall after all Masses the weekend of September 25-26. Bring your treasures to the parish hall and be sure to label them if you want them returned.
STORIES
What is one of your favorite memories of St. Laurence? Are you a founding parishioner who could share with the rest of us what it was like in the early days? Tell us your St. Laurence story! Email your story to Sharon Ehrenkranz at sehrenkranz@stlaurence.org.
CONNECT
Know a long-time parishioner who has moved away? Invite them to come to the 25th Anniversary Mass or one of the other special events this fall. Or send them the link to this web site and ask them to share their St. Laurence story and/or photos.
JOIN THE COMMITTEE
We can use help cataloging, scanning, and sorting photographs and memorabilia. Email sehrenkranz@stlaurence.org if you can help!
