Its first church was blessed in Dear Bishop McCormack: Please send me detailed information about a Gift Annuity with the Propagation of the Faith. Name November, 1973, and the mission became a parish in June, 1974. At that time 185 families made up the parish. The parish now has 680 families. “Many of us have moved here to St. Lawrence from ‘someplace else,’” “says Arlene Wilson, a member of the parish building com mittee. “We are comfort able here. Everyone is our friend here; we are loved here in this place...We pray this spirit of caring and sharing will always remain an integral part of our parish family.” Plans for the new sanc tuary began in the spring of 1983. The new church will seat 600. Its Mary Chapel, for daily use, seats 60. A shrine depicting St. Lawrence with the treasures of the Church — beggars, the lame, orphans and widows — will be a feature in the entrance of the new church. The theme for the dedica tion is “What is this place...our heart, our home, our people.’’ Parishioner Jim Stasul commented: “Although our newly dedicated church building is made of wood and stone, our new home was built by prayers, God’s love and the generosity of the members The Exterior Of St. Lawrence Church, Lawrenceville During Construction. and friends that make up our parish family.” Barker and Cunningham is the architectural firm for the new structure; TDM and Associates is the general contractor.
