From the Pastor

For the Weekend of March 13 & 14

Question for the Week: Jesus welcomed sinners. Do you find this comforting or challenging?  Why?

Mission: Seek to imitate Jesus’ humility.

Dear Friends:

 I am thankful for the help and advice that I receive from the different Councils of our parish. I am enclosing the list of the different councils, their membership, and their purpose. I have asked from all these councils that they strive to keep you updated with regular summaries of their meetings. 

Respectfully yours in Christ,

Fr. Tom Morgan

Stewardship Council

 

The Stewardship Committee’s purposes is to assess, unify and strengthen our current St. Lawrence ministries, while addressing gaps where our parish would benefit from the growth and development of new ministries. While we recognize the importance of the three dimensions of stewardship, this committee will direct its energy on the time and talent aspects. We believe that strengthening these areas will lead to even greater treasure contributions from the parish community
