MUSINGS

By Father Lee Chase

Saint Lawrence School

It is my joy to be able to announce

that registra!on for St. Lawrence

School will begin for returning

families on February 1 and for new

families on February 22nd. In the

ves!bule of the Church and on the

cover of this bulle!n is a flyer

adver!sing what we offer.

We offer much! As a Catholic

school, our educa!on here is

founded and grounded in our

Roman Catholic faith. We begin

each school day with prayer.

Many !mes throughout the year,

our students come to morning

Mass and come over to the Church

for prayer services.

We offer a great educa!onal

experience. As a smaller school,

the sense of community and the

knowledge that every student is

known makes for no anonymous

teaching. The teachers know each

student and their needs.

We are constantly in the process of

upda!ng our building and our

programs to make them rigorous,

challenging, and interes!ng. At

the same !me, we know that

students have individual needs.

We go beyond State requirements

to meet the needs of academically

challenged students. We help

them as much as we can.

Our students have a balanced day

of recess, instruc!on, study, and

play. We include art, music,

physical educa!on, and character

development in our curriculum.

We even offer the beginning study

of Spanish for our students.

Pre-Kindergarten

St. Lawrence School offers a

fantas!c Pre-Kindergarten

program. On Tuesday and

Thursday mornings, we will offer a

Pre-K Age 3 program and on

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday

mornings, a Pre-K Age 4 program.

The Pre-K is located in the school,

meaning that the students can use

the gymnasium and that the school

nurse, who is full !me, is present

should there be a need. We are

very proud of our Pre-K and this is

a great introduc!on to our school

for the toddlers coming here.

I invite all of you to first pray for St.

Lawrence School. Let us pray for

the students, the families, the

teachers and aids, the staff and

administra!on. Mr. Frank

Arvizzigno, our principal, is a very

energe!c and wonderful man who

is very present to our students and

supports our teachers. We are

blessed to have him.

I ask you to consider St. Lawrence

School if you are looking for a

school for your children. We have

grades Pre-K (age 3 and 4) up to

grade 6. And while we do cap our

class sizes to 25, many of our

grades do have openings. We

invite you to contact the school if

you wish to tour the school or

have any ques!ons. The phone is

225-3870.

And, lastly, I encourage you to let

your neighbors and friends and

family members know about us.

I’ve heard that a lot of people

didn’t know we had a pre-school or

that our school went up to Grade

6. We also have a dedicated

library, a fenced-in playground for

safety, a lunch program where the

students eat together - not in their

classrooms - and a dedicated

Academic Interven!on Services

center.

We also have a full !me nurse, as I

said, and a part !me Student

Advocate who assist with our

children, especially those who

struggle.

And, lastly, I want to thank all of

the parishioners who have

supported and con!nue to support

St. Lawrence School. The parish is

commi6ed to Catholic School

Educa!on and will con!nue in that

support.

If you wish to know more how you

can support our school, even fund

a scholarship or two, let me know.

But most of all, please pray for our

school and for the success of

Catholic educa!on! We need this

now, more than ever, in our world!

May God bless us now and always!

Are you looking for a way to spread God’s Mercy

in this Jubilee Year of Mercy?

St. Lawrence Keeping in Touch could be the answer.

St. Lawrence Church has many parishioners who can no

longer a;end Mass regularly, are homebound, or reside in

assisted living or nursing home facili)es. Members of

St. Lawrence Keeping in Touch reach out to these

parishioners with visits, cards or phone calls, and o4en bring

them Holy Communion. It only takes a li;le of your )me and

will be a blessing to both you and the parishioner you visit.

If you would like:

• to find out more about Keeping in Touch,

• become a Prayer Partner to one or more of these

parishioners,

• OR know someone in need of Keeping in Touch services,

call the rectory at 723 1350 or Chet and Kathy at 392 3147

WHAT IS EUCHARISTIC ADORATION?

Eucharis!c Adora!on is - the Adora)on of Jesus Christ in

the Eucharist. It is a prac!ce of spending an hour in quiet

prayer and reflec!on.

St. Lawrence Church has ini!ated Eucharis!c Adora!on

on the first Monday of each month

9:00am - 6:00pm.

Since Eucharis!c Adora!on involves not leaving the

Sacrament una6ended at any !me during the exposi!on,

there must always be someone in a6endance when Jesus

is present on the altar.

For this reason, we ask parishioners to:

Please sign up for an hour-long )me slot during this )me.

Sign-up sheets are located on the display in the entrance

of church.

(If unable to commit to a permanent slot, please consider

a "sub )me slot")

Thank you....Faith In Ac)on at St. Lawrence

All are welcome to visit at any"me during the day

in the Sacraments of Confession and Holy Eucharist, praying for the Holy Father's personal inten!ons, and praying the Profession of Faith

(the Creed).
