      Fr. Drew Wood

      Father Drew Wood is pastor of St. Laurence Catholic Church in Sugar Land, a large and vibrant parish of over 7,300 families.  A graduate of St. Thomas High School and the University of St. Thomas, he was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Galveston-Houston on April 28, 1973.  He served at many parishes throughout the Houston area, in addition to filling the roles of Vocation Director and Vice Chancellor for the diocese and Spiritual Director at St. Mary’s Seminary before coming to St. Laurence in 1998.  In 2002, he became pastor and within a few years led a church expansion, then the building of the Ave Maria Parish Life Center, to better accommodate his growing parish.  Fr. Drew has a special affinity for the Life Teen Mass; most summers, he accompanied the teens to the Steubenville Conference.  It was this experience which led him to create the Heart of Worship, this day-long spiritual event of “exultant joy” held on the campus of St. Laurence.
