Anointing of the Sick: Available on emergency basis and for those who are being admitted for surgery. Please call the Parish Office to make an appointment. (See the U.S. Catholic Bishops - Catechism of the Catholic Church on Anointing.)
Holy Orders: Over the past century since its foundation, many sons of Saint Lawrence Parish have studied for and been ordained to the Priesthood of Jesus Christ. Many more sons and daughters of the parish have become religious brothers and sisters, serving Christ and his Church with the total gifts of their lives. If you have children, please encourage them to consider a vocation within the Church. If you have contemplated serving God in this way, speak to your parish priest. It is a life that brings meaning, fulfillment, and tremendous joy. (See the U.S. Catholic Bishops - The Sacrament of Holy Orders.)
