Do you seek to strengthen your personal prayer, deepen your relationship with God, and learn to use scripture as a guide for prayer? Please join us for a Virtual Home Retreat, an 8-week experience of prayer using themes from the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. We will meet for 7 weeks during Lent and 1 week after Easter. Retreatants pray every day (at home), using selected scripture passages, and meet weekly for 2 hours with facilitators at St. Laurence to share experiences, and receive input and guidance about prayer and the process. The home retreat is not a bible study. It is an opportunity to establish a more personal relationship with God by prayerful reading of scripture. It is a journey of the heart, not of the head. Facilitators for this Virtual Retreat are certified Spiritual Directors, Sandy Smith and Anne Marie Daniel. For more information, contact Anne Marie Daniel at 281-265-5774 or adaniel@stlaurence.org
Lent is upon us once again, a solemn time for the church that culminates in great joy on Easter Sunday. This year it also means the KC Fish Frys are being RESTORED to regular operation! The Knights of Columbus will be holding their annual Lenten Fish Frys back in the Parish Hall AND weather permitting there will be tables set up outside for dining. There will be tables set up outdoors as well as some games in the courtyard for the kids (weather permitting).
What a great tradition to grow out of the pandemic! Gather with other families via Zoom each Friday at 8 pm to pray the Rosary. Contact Mark Coppedge in advance to get log-in details and join in. Link in this headline.
We meet on the first Sunday of every month for the 9:00 a.m. mass at St. Laurence Church. We sit in the elevated seats by the choir.

Come join us for mass, yummy food and socializing!
God has given each of us a conscience to help us make decisions but between each of our past experiences, the other people in our lives, and the social media influences we follow it can become difficult to hear and follow our conscience. How do we form our conscience? How do we hear the voice of God in a world that can drown Him out? All high school students in grades 9-12 are invited to join us for our Life Teen series on “Think For Yourself” where we will look at ways to form our conscience in the world that we live. Series runs February 20, 27, and March 6.

We have Holy Adoration at 4 am. Come participate in this simple act of spending time in prayer before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, exposed on the altar at the Chapel of Divine Mercy at St. Laurence. You can go straight to the Chapel or meet with fellow Brother Adorers at the parish hall kitchen, a few minutes before 4. After the Holy Hour, we invite all Adorers to come join us for coffee at the Parish Hall Kitchen.
This retreat will begin in person on March 13th 10:15 a.m. (beginning with mass) at St Joseph parish and will continue virtually for the rest of the week. This retreat is designed to integrate into daily life (school, work, etc.) by spending time each morning with St Joseph in prayer, and then putting into practice his virtues, and sharing our experiences together in the evening (virtually) at 8:30pm on March 14th-19th. It’s like attending a school – if St. Joseph ran a school – to be like Joseph. (There will be a brief video presentation each day explaining the prayer assignment and daily spiritual challenges for that day.) Cost: $20 – Any questions, please call 713-652-8239.

Emotions can be empowering, crippling, and overwhelming. At times, they can be all three. Whether we experience triumphant peaks or deflating lows, the emotions we feel are never sinful; rather, they are a part of the human psyche. What we do with our emotions defines our morality. Since Jesus became fully human, He experienced the same emotions we feel. The difference is that Jesus took these emotions and gave us an example of how to order them for the good of all. MOOD is a High School Life Night series that presents the emotional responses of Jesus during His earthly ministry. We will look to Jesus' example to understand our emotional responses and order them toward the spiritual good.
Let us prepare our hearts for the Solemnity of the Annunciation to Mary by spending time with her that week! The purpose of this retreat is to develop a more intimate relationship with God through the example of our Mother Mary. This retreat will begin in person on March 20th from 4:30pm to 7:30 (including mass) at St Joseph parish and will continue virtually until Thursday 24th. There will be a brief video presentation each day explaining the prayer assignment and daily spiritual challenges for that day. There will also be online meetings scheduled at 8pm on March 22nd-23rd (Tuesday and Wednesday). For the conclusion of the retreat, we will meet in-person on Friday evening at St. Joseph’s to celebrate the feast of the Annunciation of the Lord. Cost: $20 – If you have any questions, please call 713-652-8239 or email us at vocations.archgh.org
