St. Lawrence Parish will be hosting Riegelsville's annual Advent Ecumenical Service on Sunday afternoon, December 15th at 3 PM. Pastor Bradley Gow of St. Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Church will be preaching. By design, these ecumenical services are kept simple and focused on the season , in this case Advent. They also conclude with a Social which always includes great food. As busy as you might be, come and join your sisters and brothers in Christ as we celebrate what unites us; namely, the inexhaustible love of our Messiah, Jesus Christ.

Greening of the Church!(December 22nd, after 9:30AM Mass)
The Greening of the Church is that weekend when parishioners gather to decorate our church for Christmas. This year's date for the Greening of the Church is Sunday, December 22nd starting immediately after the 9:30 AM Mass. The ladies of the Altar & Rosary Society direct the decorating. However, we need me to literally do the heavy lifting. This involves transferring the artificial trees over to church from the storage shed and setting them up, moving the poinsettias from the sacristy to the sanctuary, attaching the large Christmas wreath from the choir loft and a few other things. It is a lot of work, but with many hands it is usually accomplished in little more than an hour. Even if you can only spare 20 minutes, please join us for this parish tradition. Soup and sandwiches will be available in Ceader Hall.

Saint Lawrence Parish Religious Education Program
Family Information Packet
2024-2025
Dear Parents and Students,
We now turn our attention to the continuation of the formal religious education of the school age children of
our parish with our five summer sessions and our monthly Sunday sessions from October through April. Our
humble attempts to pass on the truths of the faith can only make sense in light of a loving family. Let us pray
for one another in the days and months ahead that we can be the presence of Jesus for one another, allowing
the love and kindness of God’s Spirit to grace our homes, our neighborhoods, our religious education program
and our world.
God bless us all!
The Goals of the Saint Lawrence Parish Religious Education Program
We see this program as an extension of the parents’
responsibility to proclaim the message of our salvation for they are
the primary teachers of their children.
Get More and Information & sign up forms by clicking on Religious Ed Above.
Fresh Air & Prayer offers an
opportunity for parents, grandparents,
anyone with children in their care; to get
together letting the children play and the
adults to have some “adult time”
together. Gatherings are informal and
vary. Planned once a month, weather
dependent, on the third Sunday following
the 9:30AM Mass. Bridget Fauerbach &
her girls will lead the group.
Announcements will be posted in bulletin
the prior & actual weekend. Hope you
will join in for a little R & R with kids:>
Christmas 2023
"Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To you, God entrusted his only Son; in you Mary placed her trust; with you Christ became man.
Blessed Joseph, to us too, show yourself a father and a guide to us in the path of life. Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage, and defend us from every evil. Amen"
A Prayer for Ukraine
God of love and compassion,
You who have made us for love
and given us an example of love and peace in Your Son Jesus,
look upon the people of Ukraine who need Your love and peace during this most difficult time.
Bring an end to war, suffering, and hatred.
Mary, Queen of Peace, wrap the people of Ukraine under the mantle of Your peace-filled protection.
Look with compassion, O God, on all afflicted and may Jesus, the Prince of Peace, bring peace.
We pray for Ukraine and indeed the whole world.
We ask this prayer, O God, in the name of Jesus, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
