from mourning to joy
bereavement program
Our Christian faith is the very key to healing after the death of a loved one and it is vital to living a life filled with promise, peace, and joy. St. Lawrence O’Toole’s Bereavement Ministry meets weekly to help you work through your loss with group support and the GriefShare program. Practical strategies will help you move through the grief process with the goal of rebuilding your life while experiencing significant healing and growth in faith.

acts of the apostles
scripture study
Acts of the Apostles is the story of how a few Christians, empowered by the Holy Spirit, were chosen to spread Christ to the whole world. Acts spans a period of almost 30 years following the Resurrection of Jesus, when the early Christians ”turned the world upside down” while spreading the Good News. Written by St. Luke, Acts provides a glimpse of the amazing power and guidance of the Holy Spirit!

The program includes a video, workbook, and reading book to help you walk step-by-step with Jesus from the garden of Gethsemane to Mount Calvary.

33 days to eucharistic glory
a spiritual pilgrimage
At critical times throughout Salvation History, God’s people have been invited to consecrate themselves. We are at one of those critical times. 33 Days to Eucharistic Glory is the first ever Eucharistic Consecration. The program includes a book with daily reflections, virtues to adopt, extraordinary prayers, and inspiring stories to help us experience Jesus in the Eucharist like never before.
Men's Ministry
Men’s Ministry at St. Lawrence is a weekly meeting of Catholic and Christian men in the parish and neighborhood on Saturday mornings from 7 am to 8:30 am in the Large Conference Room (2nd floor) of the Parish Center. It is a great way to start your Saturday off on the right foot and still have the rest of the day for your family.
Our motto or mission statement at Men’s Ministry is, “As iron sharpens iron, one man sharpens another” (Proverbs 27:17). It offers an opportunity for brotherly camaraderie and to help sharpen each other to become what God has called us to be: the spiritual leaders of our families and our domestic church.
We start with bagels and coffee and an opening prayer. Then, we have a short presentation (20-30 minutes) that may include a video or two of an interesting Catholic-themed topic. This is followed by some great table discussion, and we end with prayer intentions and a closing prayer. It’s a wonderful way to recharge your Catholic faith and help you deal with the day-to-day distractions and pressures of an increasingly secular and godless society.
“If you are not drawing your life from Jesus, it means you are trying to draw it from some other source. I’ll guarantee you that it’s not working.” From Beautiful Outlaw by John Eldredge.
Give us a try. And similar to Vegas, “What is said in Men’s Ministry, stays in Men’s Ministry!”

Discipleship
At St. Lawrence O’Toole and Sacred Heart Churches, we work to stay focused on this vision. We understand that if we keep our eyes on Jesus, strive to grow closer to Him personally, and allow Him to lead our lives, we will be truly happy. We will also gain the confidence to influence the people around us, be witnesses to Jesus’ Truth and love, and help others encounter the beauty and freedom that comes from following Christ.
Jesus formed the Church because He wants us to worship, learn, and serve in the community. We cannot grow in holiness alone; we need each other. God reveals Himself to each of us in individual ways and we come to know God more fully by seeing how He relates to others too. Our Discipleship Small Groups were formed to help our parishioners grow to be full missionary disciples.

Faith Formation Reflections
Listen to Your Mother
Recently I purchased The World of Marian Apparitions by Wincenty Laszewski from Sofia Press. It is a beautiful hardcover book filled with photos and maps chronicling 48 of the hundreds of reported apparitions of Mary from Fatima to today. Mary appeared in Fatima, Portugal in 1917, so it is shocking
Cementing History
In August, I attended Louisa Bisogno’s writing class: Telling Your Story as a Catholic Writer. She broke the news to us the first night: after two generations we will be forgotten. Think about it. How much do you know about your great grandparents? Unless they were intentional about chronicling family
A Happy Death
Recently I learned that a distant relative died back in July. I haven’t seen her in over ten years. This news has caused me to reflect on many things, most especially, “Did she have a happy death?” Although some deaths are easier than others, a happy death in the Catholic
Are You Comfortable?
Several years ago, at the time of the Syrian refugee crisis, a person in my Bible Study session asked, “How can we believe that God loves all people if the Syrians are living in such hardship and we have it so easy in the United States?” That question came
