Pastor’s Welcome

Welcome to the Saint Lawrence Martyr Parish website!

We are an inner-city parish which is very proud of our diversity and our history that goes back almost 200 years. I encourage you to familiarize yourselves with the History section of our parish which is located on this website.

We are also proud of our Parochial School which is cosponsored by Holy Name of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish and our Parish. We have over 300 students from Preschool 3 to Grade 8.

As we take small steps to prepare ourselves to the Bicentennial Anniversary of our Parish we are fully aware of the enormous challenges it brings. We believe that the mission of our Parish will continue as we are blessed with our patron St. Lawrence’s great example of serving those in need as he did believing that they were the true treasures of the Church. This Parish was also blessed by the visit of Mother Theresa of Calcutta who came here in 1995 to visit her sisters who serve in our parish.

My prayer is that this website will be an interactive and informative tool of our Parish sacramental and social life. We plan to post schedules and information regarding our activities. The technology that is available nowadays makes this very possible.

I thank you for your interest in our Parish.  I hope you will enjoy visiting our website often!

Sincerely,
Rev. Marek Chmurski, Pastor
