“A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter;
the person who finds one finds a treasure.
A faithful friend is beyond price,
no sum can balance the worth.”
- from the Book of Sirach
Dear Friend in Christ
,
Welcome to our website! Whether you’re a parishioner of many years, or have yet to lay eyes on our church, I’m delighted you’ve chosen to pay our website a visit. Enjoy!
Ours is a vibrant and spirited Catholic community of over 3800 households, all of us striving to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the concreteness of our daily lives. Discipleship can be a daunting challenge—especially if it’s lived seriously and with conviction—but God has given us the invaluable gift of one another so that we can find support and encouragement as we make our pilgrim way toward his kingdom.
No website could possibly capture every facet of a living, breathing faith community, but we hope you’ll find both information and inspiration as you take a look. Our staff has worked hard to provide you with a detailed sense of what’s happening here at St. Lawrence, from the liturgical and sacramental celebrations that are at the heart of Catholicism; to the educational programs that shape the faith of children and adults alike; to the numerous opportunities for ministry and giving that allow us to love one another as Christ commanded. I hope you’ll find it easy to locate everything from Mass times, to options for wedding music, to guidance on what to do if you’ve been away from the Church. If poking around the site doesn’t bring you just what you need, simply contact our Parish Office at (631) 589-0042.
As with almost anything that truly matters in life, you will find yourself enriched by our parish to the extent that you invest your heart in it. Whether you’re new to the neighborhood, or a parishioner of fifty years, I pray that this community may be for you a faithful friend, a sturdy shelter, and a treasure beyond price.
God love you!
Reverend Brian J. Ingram
