Saint Paul’s often quoted words from 1 Corinthians issue a ringing challenge to all of us who are trying to live a genuinely Christian life. “There are different gifts, but the same Spirit; there are different ministries, but the same Lord . . .” Each and every member of Christ’s Body has been gifted in a way that is unique to him or her. No two people are alike. And yet, all the gifts and capabilities we possess are given to us by one and the same Master, who expects us to use what we have been blessed with.

The listing of ministries and volunteer opportunities that follows is intended to lay before you some of the ways in which you might belong more deeply to St. Lawrence. Your gifts are needed! Please spend some time reading through the brief descriptions thoughtfully—and with an open heart—asking the Lord to guide you to an even more generous participation in the life and mission of our parish.
