Coffee Social Volunteers – Needed We are in need of volunteers to assist with the Coffee Social after the 10am Mass. If you are able to help please contact the church office at info@hbglatinmass.com or call us at (717) 889-4217.

December 4th - Friday Devotions Mass will be at 6:30pm. A Holy Hour of Exposition with Benediction and Confessions directly follows Mass.

  Candlelight Rorate Mass – On the first Saturday of Advent, December 5th, we will have a special 6:00am Sung Mass. This Rorate Mass is lit only by candlelight. Because it is a votive Mass in Mary’s honor, white vestments are worn instead of Advent violet. In the dimly lit setting, we will prepare to honor the Light of the world, Who is soon to be born, and offer praise to God for the gift of Our Lady. As the Mass proceeds and sunrise approaches, the church becomes progressively brighter, illumined by the sun as our Faith is illumined by Christ

Corporal Works of Mercy - If any needy person approaches you at St. Lawrence requesting money or another type of material aid, please do not give them any. Instead, direct them to the Cathedral one block up the street towards the Capitol building. The Cathedral is equipped to assist the needy. We are not! Although it may seem the charitable thing to do, please realize that by giving aid to these individuals you are encouraging them to return and hence doing a disservice to your fellow parishioners and in particular the families who should be able to bring their young children here without hesitation. Thank you.
