Refurbishment Update Corner
Beginning Nov. 22/23, our weekend Masses will be held at the same times at St. Lawrence. You will be greeted by the same friendly faces you see each week at Resurrection. Some things to be aware of, especially if you are not familiar with St. Lawrence church…
- Handicap parking is in front of church on Hwy 175
- General parking is in the lot across Hwy. K. Use caution when crossing the street.
- Restrooms are only handicap accessible through a basement exterior entrance with greeter’s assistance.
- Those with mobility limitations typically sit in the back of church. Let a greeter know if you would like Holy Communion brought to you.
- If at any time before, during, or after Mass you need assistance, please talk to a greeter.
- On Sunday, please disperse promptly; St. Lawrence has a 10:00 Mass. As guests, we want to respect their hospitality.
Temporary dwelling, eternal faith.

Most Recent Update
The large crucifix in the vestibule at Resurrection has been viewed by many entering or exiting our church through the east door. Its location in that stairwell was well suited for quite some time.
As refurbishment planning began, discussion revolved around the idea of returning to a traditional looking design to blend with our German community heritage. This quickly led to consider hanging that crucifix in our sanctuary because of the German inscription on the bottom of the cross. The darker stain color also appealed to the committee.
It’s believed this crucifix hung on the wall to the choir loft at Sts. Peter and Paul church in Nenno prior to that church closure. “Zum Andenken an ihrer Mutter Anna von der Familie Albert Goudrom” translates to: In memory of their Mother Anna by the Family of Albert Gundrum. Cemetery records show Anna M Gundrum died in 1917; her husband Albert died in 1928. The couple had eleven children. Several descendants remain in our parish family.
The names preserved on our pew name plates listed in last week’s bulletin and on this crucifix speak of a people who gave generously for our sake, and we honor them; may our own sacrifices today become the same enduring gift for those who will worship here long after us. (From 1/4/25 bulletin)
Gratitude For Our Refurbishment Team
We extend heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated crew of men whose time and energy kept the refurbishment project moving forward. Under the leadership of Dennis Wiedmeyer, the team’s efforts ensured the project stayed on schedule. We also wish to acknowledge Marg Wiedmeyer for her faithful support—researching, organizing, preparing materials, and even providing a nourishing and hospitable meal for the crew. Their combined dedication has been a true blessing to our parish community.
