We all want to be happy, and most of look to four things in life for that happiness: wealth, power, pleasure, and status. These four areas are alluring and promise safety and security. But do they really? Unfortunately, when relying on these “goods” to comfort us, we forget where we should truly place our trust and create substitutes for God rather than trusting Him. Throughout this series, we will take a closer look at each of these thieves of our happiness and how they can adversely affect our relationship with the Father if we are not careful about how we view and use them.
JOIN US Every 1st Monday of the month from 7-8 pm St. Laurence's Chapel of Divine Mercy. ALL are invited to join in praying before the Blessed Sacrament for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and religious life and for the protection of all our priests

A Corporate Communion Mass is a special Mass for the Knights of Columbus Council members to gather together as one with their families and friends and share the Eucharist together in both fraternity and unity. Council members serve in various liturgical roles during the Mass. Together, refreshed in Christ, they continue their mission of Charity, Unity, and Fraternity. This is always a wonderful opportunity for our Council to attend Mass and receive the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist as one body.
