Please join us in Congratulating Mrs. Julie Lezcano, who receive the St. Jude Medal Award during a prayer service on Sunday, October 30, 2022 at 3:00pm, at the Cathedral of St. Jude the Apostle, St. Petersburg for her outstanding service to the St. Lawrence  community. Julie is  very active in various ministries at St. Lawrence, and considers St. Lawrence her spiritual home.

The St. Jude the Apostle Medal is given each year in the Diocese of St. Petersburg to recognize those persons showing distinguished and outstanding service to their parish. This medal acknowledges the great gift of the Church, its people, exemplified in these individuals who in their generosity and love of their faith have greatly contributed to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ in their parish. The Medal was commissioned by the Diocese of St. Petersburg in 1999 at the request of Bishop Robert N. Lynch. The famous Enrico Manfrini of Milan, Italy, designed the medal and Senesi of Milan, Italy, cast it. 

Congratulations Julie!

As the Feast of All Souls draws near, we are reminded of the opportunity to pray and reflect on the goodness that our deceased family members brought into our lives. We are a people of remembrance. Our liturgies remind us of our faith and of Christ’s sacrifice for all people.  The “Wall of Remembrance”  will be displayed the weekend of October 29-30th in the back of the church. You are invited to bring and attach a photo of your deceased family members and/or friend. Please print your name and phone number on the back of the photo so that you may arrange to have the photos returned back to you after November. The “Book of the Dead” will also be displayed for you to include names of all your deceased Family and friends.

On behalf of our clergy and staff we would like to invite you and your family to join us for a special All Souls Mass Wednesday, November 2, 2022 at 7:00 PM in the church.

Muro del Recuerdo

Al acercarse la celebración de la Fiesta de los Fieles Difuntos, tenemos la oportunidad de orar y reflexionar sobre la bondad que nuestros familiares fallecidos trajeron a nuestras vidas. Somos gente de memorias. Nuestras liturgias nos recuerdan nuestra fe y el sacrificio de Cristo por todas las personas. El “Muro del Recuerdo” se expondrá el fin de semana del 29 al 30 de octubre en la parte trasera de la iglesia. Le invitamos a traer y adjuntar una foto de sus familiares y/o amigos fallecidos. Por favor escriba su nombre y número de teléfono en la parte posterior de la foto para que podamos hacer arreglos para devolverle las fotos después de noviembre. El “Libro de los Muertos” también estará disponible para que incluya los nombres de todos sus familiares y amigos fallecidos.   

En nombre de el clero y personal en St. Lorenzo, nos gustaría invitarlo a usted y a su familia a unirse a nosotros para una misa especial de Fieles Difuntos el miércoles 2 de noviembre de 2022 a las 7:00p. m. en la iglesia.
