BEHOLD, I Make All Things New
Fr. Drew has selected from the Book of Revelation, Chapter 21, "Behold, I make all things new," as the theme for his parish this year.
Since its founding three decades ago, St. Laurence has been a welcome harbor, striving to be a people centered in the love of Christ, living to glorify God in all we do. Here we find spiritual refreshment and renewal, numerous opportunities to learn & grow in our faith, and a variety of channels to serve others with gladness. We are abundantly blessed with a
17-acre campus which includes a beautiful church that seats 1,500 people for each Mass; a Chapel of Divine Mercy for perpetual adoration; the National Blue Ribbon award winning St. Laurence Catholic School for PreK-Grade 8; the Weekday Children’s Program, a sought-after early childhood education program; and the new Ave Maria Parish Life Center.
Today, we are a parish of 7,500 families, committed to learning, growing, connecting and loving through 80+ ministries and parish groups.On behalf of Fr. Drew Wood and Fr. Jaison Thomas, our deacons and parish staff, we welcome you to St. Laurence and invite you to engage in the life of this vibrant Catholic community! There is something for everyone here — meaningful ways to serve, to pray, to worship, to learn and to grow in fellowship and friendship.
Join us on our journey of growing as an Engaged Church!
Last fall, we focused on ways to LEARN about our faith. During the winter, Fr. Drew invited us to GROW in deeper communion with Jesus. Throughout Lent, our parish focused on ways to CONNECT with one another. Currently, we are reaching out in LOVE by slowing down and remembering how important it is to recognize and thank the people in our lives... family members, neighbors, co-workers, friends and fellow parishioners.
Take this PASTOR'S CHALLENGE from Fr. Drew:
During the month of June, thank someone for their loving presence
in our parish community, AND attend one weekday Mass to
thank God for his amazing presence in your life.
