At St Lawrence, we strive to be a welcoming community of faith. We believe that everyone is on a spiritual journey. Regardless of what stage of that journey you are at in your spiritual life; we welcome you with your struggles, failures as well as your triumphs.

O glorious Saint Lawrence, Martyr and Deacon, who, being subjected to the most bitter torments, did not lose your faith nor your constancy in confessing Jesus Christ, obtain in like manner for us such an active and solid faith, that we shall never be ashamed to be true followers of Jesus Christ, and fervent Christians in word and in deed, even in spite of trials, persecutions, or the sword. Amen.
