From the Pastor’s Hand
Greetings in the Lord! First of all, thank you ever so much for last week’s
many well-wishes on the 20th Anniversary of my Ordination to the Priesthood.
There’s a lot to be thankful for, and the parishioners of St. Lawrence are at the top
of my list.
Speaking of Ordinations, Carlos Cifuentes and Gerardo Ceballos, each of
whom had stints of time at St. Lawrence, have chosen our parish as the site of
their First Masses of Thanksgiving right after their Ordination to Priesthood. That
will be very exciting for us on June 25 & 26; it is an honor, really. I hope you
might be able to make a special effort to be here for the Masses and Receptions.
More immediately, however, there are two things happening now. Next
weekend, (beside the fact that it is Father’s Day) I will be asking for your input on
the selection of new Pastoral Council Members. At all the Masses, right after the
homily, cards will be passed out for you to write up to 3 names of persons you
think will be able to assist me well in monitoring and invigorating the pastoral
mission of our parish community.
Second, this weekend we are introducing our Fall parish revival opportunity. It is called ARISE; it’s a total parish experience designed to spiritually renew us while providing opportunities to grow in faith. It is a way to move into the
future as a Church of hope. I look forward to you seeing this as a pure gift – and
opportunity to embrace a time of grace.
The reasons to participate in “ARISE Together in Christ” including:
• To know God better We learn more about God, talk more freely about our
faith, and hear how God has impacted other peoples’ lives.
• To grow spiritually We see more clearly how the Holy Spirit has touched our
lives and we become more willing to ask for the Spirit’s guidance.
• To meet new people Praying and reading the Bible with others brings people
closer. New relationships are formed and deepened.
• To talk about God Society and daily pressures offer little opportunity for us to
pause and reflection our spiritual life. Small communities provide the time and
support for reflection.
• To improve ourselves Wherever we are in our relationships with Christ, there
is always room for improvement. Being in a small community offers this opportunity.
• To put faith into action Baptism calls us to reach out to others, to help improve the quality of life for all. Small communities assist us in identifying ways to
respond to others’ needs. These communities support outreach.
• To change the way we see the world Small communities enable us to view the
world and all in it with the eyes of Christ. This leads us to become more attuned to
the needs and problems of others.
• To improve relationships Being in a small community infuses our relationships with more understanding, tolerance, patience, and love.
I look forward to growing in faith with you! Much Peace to you this week!

your regular offerings for parish support—are helping us
accelerate the retirement of our parish debt. Thank you for
your good stewardship of St. Lawrence!
Your parish won’t shut down during the summer so we really
need your financial giving even if you are enjoying your time
at the beach. Enjoy that beverage with the little umbrella in
it but please remember St. Lawrence parish while you are
away. Try Electronic Giving, visit www.saintlaw.org or call
our bookkeeper, Janet Volion at 770-963-8992 x304.
A Perfect Time to Create a Lead Trust: The federal rate is
very low right now, making it a great time to set up a Lead
Trust. A Lead Trust will provide gifts to charity for a fixed
number of years beginning now, and then, at the end of the
term of years, the remainder of the trust will pass to your
children or grandchildren. You can name your parish endowment fund as the charitable beneficiary of the trust for
the years it is in effect. Please contact Juliet Greco at The
Catholic Foundation of North Georgia: [email protected] or
404-497-9440.
Father’s Day Novena: Father John and Father Rey will
celebrate a novena of Masses for the intentions of our fathers, living and deceased, beginning Sunday, June 19. If
you would like to participate in this novena, please submit

church envelopes. Extras are available in the literature
rack and at the Welcome Window.

To the St. Lawrence Parish Family:
The Finance Council has prepared the accompanying financial report for the third quarter of the fiscal year July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016.
St. Lawrence continues to be blessed by your continued generosity. Our year to date offertory is now 5.6% over budget and $83,000 more than the
same period last year. We can finish this year and start next year very strong by keeping up our weekly contributions through the summer
months. The best way to do that is doing what many of your fellow parishioners have done: sign up for online giving. Join them so you don’t have to
worry about missed offertories while travelling.
This year has seen an increased enrollment in our Religious Education and Preschool programs. Our Preschool program has undergone
some significant changes this year which has resulted in increased enrollment. You can find lots of information about these programs and enroll
your children for next year on the parish website: http://www.saintlaw.org.
Debt reduction collections this quarter totaled $39,449, which shortened the mortgage by another 2.5 months. If debt reduction collection continues to bring in $19,000 a month, which is the average this year, we can have the mortgage paid off in four years.
Our refund from the Archdiocese for pledge payments exceeding last year’s Annual Appeal target was $9,000 more than last year’s refund. We are happy to report that pledges and payments for this year’s campaign are looking very good. Thank you for your generous support of
the Annual Appeal. You have really helped both the Archdiocese and St. Lawrence Church. If you have any problems regarding pledge payments
or would like to make a pledge and contribute to this year’s Appeal, please call Janet Volion in the parish office. It is not too late to start.
Overall, expenses are tracking close to budget. Religious Education is under budget largely due to deferred expenses. Preschool is over
budget for both revenues and expenses, reflecting higher enrollment. The debt reduction collection has saved us $30,178 so far this year in mortgage interest. Facilities is over budget due to the column repairs in the Church. We do have some significant maintenance expenses that need addressing before the end of the year. Maintaining your offertory giving will help us to avoid tapping into the capital reserves to cover these.
Again, thank you for your support of St. Lawrence Church. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Saludos en el senñ or! Antes, quiero dar las infinitas gracias por todos los buenos deseos que tuvieron conmigo en mi aniversario nué mero 20th. de ordenacioé n de sacerdote. Tengo mucho porque estar agradecido y en primera lista
estaé n ustedes los feligreses de San Lorenzo.
Hablando de ordenaciones, Carlos Cifuentes y Gerardo Ceballos, quienes
pasaron una temporada acaé en San Lorenzo, han elegido nuestra parroquia,
para celebrar su primera misa de accioé n de gracias inmediatamente despueé s de
su ordenacioé n como sacerdotes. Esto nos llena de gran emocioé n y es un verdadero honor, el 25 y 26 de junio espero puedan hacer un esfuerzo especial para
asistir a estas misas y recepciones.
Pero aué n maé s, hay dos cosas importantes tambieé n que sucederaé n el proé ximo fin de semana, (junto con el hecho de que es el díéa del padre); Yo les pedireé
su participacioé n en la seleccioé n de los nuevos miembros del consejo pastoral,
durante las misas despueé s de la homilíéa, se pasaran las tarjetas para que usted
pueda escribir hasta 3 nombres de personas que usted piense tengan voluntad
y capacidad de ayudarme bien en el seguimiento y fortalecimiento de la misioé n
pastoral de nuestra comunidad parroquial.
Segundo, este fin de semana nosotros tendremos la oportunidad de introducir el programa "LEVANTATE" en nuestra parroquia en el otonñ o de este anñ o,
este es un resurgimiento, es un programa disenñ ado para renovarnos espiritualmente, mientras nos proporciona oportunidades para crecer en la fe. Es un
camino para avanzar en el futuro como una iglesia de esperanza, yo espero que
ustedes vean esto como un puro regalo - y una gran oportunidad para abrazar
en tiempo de gracia.

Las razones para participar e inscribirse en Levántate "juntos en Cristo"
son:
• Saber y aprender más de Dios, hablar maé s libremente sobre nuestra fe, escuchar coé mo Dios ha cambiado la vida de otras personas.
• Crecer espiritualmente y ver maé s claramente coé mo el espíéritu santo, toca
nuestra vida y hacernos maé s dispuestos a pedir el espíéritu para que nos oriente.
• Encontrar nuevas personas orando y leyendo la biblia para profundizar la
palabra y formarnos en la fe, esto atrae a otros para y fortalece nuestras amistades.
• Hablar acerca de Dios en la sociedad y vida diaria, nos ayuda a hacer una
pausa y reflexionar sobre nuestra vida espiritual, formando pequenñ as comunidades.
• Mejorar nosotros mismos y saber coé mo estamos en nuestra relacioé n con
Cristo, y reconocer que siempre hay un lugar para mejorar, y una pequenñ a comunidad puede ofrecerte esta oportunidad.
• Poner nuestra fe en acción ya que por el bautismo estamos llamados a llegar a otros, a ayudar a mejorar la calidad de vida para todos, las pequenñ as comunidades nos ayudaraé n a identificar de diferentes formas y responder a las
necesidades de otros como una extensioé n de apoyo a la comunidad.
• Cambiar la forma en que vemos el mundo, las pequenñ as comunidades nos
habilitaran la forma en la que vemos el mundo para verlo con los ojos de Cristo,
esto nos lleva a estar en sintoníéa con las necesidades y problemas de otros.
• Mejorar nuestras relaciones con los demás, a tener maé s comprensioé n, tolerancia, paciencia, y amor.
Yo espero tambieé n crecer en la fe ustedes! Que La Paz esteé con ustedes esta
semana.
