Join them also for the Glorious Mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary at 11:00 AM in front of our Marian Chapel on Sunday mornings.
St. Nicholas Feast Day: Since we cannot celebrate our feast day together as usual, and to honor the kindness and generosity of our patron, St. Nicholas, the Knights of Columbus is asking all our families to contribute a gift card to LARS. Please place your gift card in the decorated box in the back of the Church before December 6. Thank you so much for your generosity!
Poor Boxes: Thank you to everyone who generously donates to our poor boxes placed by each exit of the Church. This year has been a difficult one for many of the families and Laurel, and the funds donated to the poor box help support those ministries that support the less fortunate of our community. God Bless You!
Please stay safe and healthy. If you develop symptoms that may include coughing, fever, and shortness of breath, contact your health care provider and follow their directions.
