“There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.” 1 Corinthians 12:6-7
St. Laurence strives to be an inclusive and welcoming community to those parishioners who have special needs and require accommodations.
We are expanding our already flourishing Ministry with Persons with Disabilities. We are seeking to provide additional support and classes for those students who present with special needs. These include students in Preschool CCE, Elementary CCE, Edge, Life Teen, First Reconciliation, First Communion, Confirmation, RCIA and possibly beyond. We are also seeking opportunities to bring an awareness of the needs that are present in our larger parish family. If you know of someone who is in need of special accommodations, due to a disability, please let us know.
If you have ideas to share or would like to be a part of this group, or if you would like more information, please contact Cindy Martin, 281-265-5774; cindymartin@stlaurence.org.
Mission StatementWe seek to invite, welcome and accept persons with disabilities into the full life of the Church, supporting and developing the gifts, abilities, and spirituality of each individual person, acknowledging that they are made in the image of God. We serve as a resource to educate our parishioners regarding disabilities, furthering the dignity and respect shown to the entire Body of Christ, through acts of justice and love. - Archdiocese of Galveston-HoustonVisit the Archdiocesan site to learn more about the Ministry with Persons with Disabilities. -
