Wine, Cheese, Art and Everything Chocolate Was A Big Hit: This
fundraiser that we held January 17th drew a great crowd from the Lafayette
area. We had a wonderful time and raised some money to help with some
improvements to our existing buildings on campus. From the proceeds, we
will be able to replace a furnace in the school. Im hoping to have the
results ready to publish in the next bulletin. Thank you to everyone who
helped by making food, donating beer, contributing art, preparing mailings,
decorating, playing beautiful music, and working the event. Many people
helped to make this a success. And, thank you to our generous donors. If
you were unable to attend and would like to make a donation to this
fundraiser, please send your check to the parish office and mark it January
Fundraiser.
World Meeting of Families 2015: With news late last year that Pope
Francis is coming to the United States, excitement started mounting. People
have been asking how they can be a part of this important event. They are
hungry for the faith and love the familyand want to be a witness to this
heart of our culture that seems to be threatened in so many ways.
This year, here at St. Lawrence, you will be hearing much about this event,
about family life, and about the need to pray for and support the structure of
the family. Please join us in daily prayer for this event and these intentions.
You can read more about it at worldmeeting2015.org.
