St. Lawrence
Catholic Parish
Curious about Catholicism?
Interested in receiving the sacraments of Baptism and/or First Communion?
Great! Regardless of how you have arrived here, you've come to the right place. We will journey with you towards wherever God is leading you.
Many times people come with questions, while others may have a lingering "feeling" that God is leading them towards Catholicism. Still others may have been practicing Catholicism at some point in their lives, but for many different reasons their lives have gone in other directions. Other adults may have been baptized Catholic, but not received any other sacraments since then.
Regardless of where you are in your journey, you are welcome here. There is no pressure, no hard sell to "become Catholic". Just a desire to walk with you towards Christ. Period.
Great! I want to learn more. What are my next steps?
