Here at St. Laurentius, anticipation is growing for Catholic Schools Week! This special week includes opportunities to grow closer to God through Mass and the Rosary, and also through unique activities that integrate the STREAM curriculum. Each grade level has chosen a patron saint that aligns with their interests. Though this year may look a bit different than you’ve seen before, our teachers are creating engaging lessons that embrace the spirit of CSW and of their grade’s patron saint. We will preview a few of these lessons below. Read More...

This week, the Catholic Church in the United States spends time promoting vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Every person has a vocation; a calling in life to be the person God has intended you to be. Our callings are as unique as our fingerprints. And discovering your vocation, a process called discernment, takes careful consideration, quiet contemplation, prayer and dedication. It also takes courage to say “yes” to God’s call.

We wish everyone a safe and Happy Halloween! Be sure to use proper precaution this year. If you go out trick or treating, remember to wear a mask, and stay socially distanced from others. Enjoy your candy and favorite Halloween show or movie!

The Rosary is, perhaps, one of Catholicism’s best known prayers and October is dedicated to this ancient prayer.

Fall is fully in the swing of things, and we know you’re looking for some socially distanced fun after the school week! While the weather is still comfortable to spend time outside, take advantage of all the Fall and Halloween themed activities in the Philadelphia region.
