Welcome to St. Laurence Catholic Church

2019 International Stewardship Award Winning Parish
 
St. Laurence Catholic Church was established in 1985 by the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston to serve the growing suburb of Sugar Land.  In just over 30 years, this thriving parish of over 7,700 households is recognized for its charitable outreach, vibrant liturgies, beautiful music, and the welcoming spirit of its culturally diverse membership.  United in the mission “We the people of St. Laurence Catholic Church are centered in the love of Christ and live to glorify God in all we do,” parishioners support over 90 ministries and its National Blue Ribbon Award winning school.  The large Social Concerns Ministry links parishioners’ desire to give with people in need through programs that offer relief within the community and around the world.
 
Twelve years ago, Fr. Drew Wood expressed a desire for St. Laurence to become a “true stewardship parish,” inspiring the holy collaboration of clergy, staff, ministry leaders and parishioners to grow in knowledge, acceptance and love of God’s will.  The culture of cheerful giving at St. Laurence is a disciple’s response to an awakening that ALL IS GIFT. 

As stewards, we receive gratefully, cultivate responsibly, share lovingly, and return with increase to the Lord.  This intentional focus, combined with ongoing formation and fueled by perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, has formed a parish family committed to a covenant to LOVE, CONNECT, GROW and LEARN.
