Refurbishment Update Corner
During our church refurbishment, 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
Though many decisions were made months ago, the refurbishment committee continues to meet as work proceeds. At year end, paint samples were on the wall, needing approval. It was nice to have the opportunity to review our choices after seeing them displayed. We did make some minor changes, but overall, it will follow the previously shared rendering.

Many contributing their time, talent and treasure to our church interior updating are content to remain “behind the scenes.” They do not want to be publicly recognized for their efforts.
A project like this does not proceed without generosity on many levels. Gratitude overflows for all responses to the Holy Spirit’s urgings in order to create beauty, befitting a house of God. (From 1/18/26 bulletin)

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.
