Lawrence was a deacon in ancient Rome. He was the Archdeacon of Pope Sixtus. He was martyred on August 10th in the year 258 AD, four days after Pope Sixtus and the other deacons were executed. On Saturday, August 10th, we will celebrate his feast day, our parish feast day, with a bilingual Mass at 5 pm, to be followed by an outdoor social, near our new parish fire pit. We ask that everyone bring some light food to be shared. Please bring an appetizer or a dessert that can be shared. We all hope that you can join us.
