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.
(From 11/16/25 bulletin)
The “Last Supper” statue was donated to our church years ago by the Stoffel family. When there was a single altar in the sanctuary, this statue was more visible. As our committee pursued a traditional-looking interior design, the decision was made to move this meaningful gift from its previous, somewhat hidden location, to a niche in a new front altar.
So recently, this statue was taken to an artisan for cleaning, chip repair, colorization, and a protective acrylic sealing. Once completed, it will be displayed in the specially built altar for all to enjoy.
The four evangelist statues were also taken to the art studio. These already had beautiful antique color tones, so they will be cleaned, repaired, and touched-up. It has been a blessing to find people devoted to their craft who have time to help us with this ongoing project.
Temporary dwelling, eternal faith.
(From 12/7/25 bulletin)
No matter how great or small, your donations help fill the gap in funding the extras that were not included in the major costs of the project, such as the furnishings in the sanctuary, replating the tabernacle and so on. Please include the Church Refurbishment Donation Form with your donation.
We are also counting on the support for your Love One Another pledges. Please continue to pay your pledge commitments to the Love One Another Capital Campaign.
Thank you for your continued support!
