"Welcome to the Neighborhood"A place to call home. That’s something all of us need and desire. St. Lawrence Friary is home to more than two dozen men who have lived their lives as priests and religious. Our family is composed of members from various congregations and priests from different dioceses––all with one purpose and intent––to continue living their God-given vocation to the best of their ability amidst the challenges and triumphs of our human condition.

Friendly Brothers
Don’t walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.
We all have something to contribute toward the betterment of society and to our local community. It doesn’t have to be grandiose or make headlines, but it is important and a necessary part of living. A handshake, a smile, a gentle word, an unseen act of kindness, are often the little things that make a big difference in people’s lives. The community of St. Lawrence strives to uphold and honor the inherent dignity of each and every person regardless of that person’s physical or mental condition. We are all created in the image and likeness of God; we are all gifts to one another.
