These are just a few of the reforms, efforts and safeguards that have been in place since 2002 in our Diocese, and have made the Church on Long Island a truly safe environment. And we do not rest there. We continually work to discern the best ways to adjust and enhance our child protection practices, to raise consciousness in the Church and society about vigilance and to support survivors of abuse.
We have worked diligently with our financial and legal advisors to assess our financial position and maximize the availability of insurance coverage to meet the demands that will likely be im-posed by anticipated CVA litigation. Please also know that parish collections and financial dona-tions made through the Catholic Ministries Appeal will continue to be used, consistent with our commitment to our parishioners, to support the Diocese, and its ministries and pursue the goals of the Catholic Ministry Appeal. The parish offertory and Catholic Ministry Appeal funds have not and will not be used to resolve claims for clergy sexual abuse. The work of the Church- of administering the Sacraments, of teaching, healing, advocating, serving, and ministering to the poor and vulnerable can and must continue, despite the sins of the past. I speak in greater detail about all of this, and about the Diocese's robust safe envi-ronment practices and commitment to them, in a Catholic Faith Network (CFN) special video which you can view on CFN television, the Diocesan website (www .drvc.org) and on Diocese of Rockville Centre social media platforms. The coming months will require perseverance and prayer if we are to emerge even more dedi-cated to Christ's saving mission. As the opening of the CVA window takes place near the Solem-nity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, we are reminded to tum to Mary our Mother and draw courage from the one who did not look away from her suffering Son. She waited patient-ly, suffered with Him, and shared in His victory over sin and death. This is the same Mary who, as Mother of the Church, gathered with the Apostles in the locked room, waiting for the power of the Holy Spirit to descend at Pentecost. As we enter a time of Paschal Mystery suffering, may Mary guide us, so that together we may continue to carry out the mission of her Son: the building up of the Kingdom of God throughout Long Island and the world. Sincerely in Christ,

Gifts of Love
MISSION STATEMENT The parish of St. Lawrence the Martyr is a family of be-lievers, rooted in the Roman Catholic faith, and striving to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ in both word and action.
As disciples of the risen Lord, and stewards of his extraor-dinary gifts, we seek to grow strong in faith, hope, and love. With the parish as our spiritual home, we commit ourselves to prayer, to teaching the faith, and to serving the needs of the poor.
Nourished by the Word of God and the Church’s sacra-ments, we cherish our rich Catholic heritage as we strive to build a welcoming faith community and proclaim Christ to the world. We look to our patron, St. Lawrence, who challenges us to see in one another—and in all God’s children—the “treasure of the Church.”
We lift up our hearts in prayer for our brothers
and sisters who have died, in the sure hope that they will one day see the Lord face to face:

MASS AT THE PINES A relatively small but very prayerful group contin-ues to gather each Sunday at 12:30 PM for Mass at Whyte Hall, at the Fire Island community of the Pines. Many of you are aware that the communi-ties of the Pines and Cherry Grove are canoni-cally part of our parish, and for years there has been a Mass offered virtually every Sunday from mid-June through Labor Day. The tentative sched-ule of celebrants for the remaining Masses is as follows: August 11th - Fr. Sean Gann August 18th - Fr. Tom Pers August 25th - Fr. Brian Ingram September 1st - Fr. Seth Awodoqu September 8th - Msgr. John Rowan
FAITH FORMATION PASS ON THE GOOD NEWS!! What good news? The Good News of Jesus Christ and our Catholic faith! This fall, over 1,000 of our parish children from grades 1-8 will participate in our Faith Formation pro-gram to learn more about Jesus and the Catholic faith. At this time, over 80 of these children have no catechist to teach them. You can be the solution when you help them learn and grow in their faith by becoming a catechist. As you nurture the faith of our young people, you will grow and learn, also. We provide you with training, materials, and support. Please prayerfully consider becoming a part of this important ministry. If you are interested, or for more information, please contact the Office of Faith Formation at 589-3160 or email [email protected]. FIRST GRADE FAITH FORMATION REGISTRATION-begins on Sunday, September 8th. Children and their fami-lies are invited to the 9:00am Family Mass. After Mass, please join us across the street in the gym of the school for “Ice Cream Sundae Sunday.” While your child (and you!) enjoy some delicious ice cream, you can register for our two-year preparation program for First Holy Communion. Please provide a copy of your child’s baptismal certificate. Please contact the Office of Faith Formation at 589-3160 for more information.
MASS INTENTIONS FOR 2020 We are happy to announce that the 2020 Calendar for Mass intentions will be open on Tuesday, August 20th. Please feel free to come to the rectory office during regular business hours, that is, Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 12 noon, and 1 PM to 4:30 PM.
All intentions will be for “announced Masses,” (that is, the intention will be read aloud at the Mass being celebrated). On Tuesdays at 9:00 A.M., and on Saturdays at 5:00 P.M., we will continue to offer “multiple” Mass intentions (that, is, as many as five different intentions may be prayed for at that liturgy).
Initially, we must limit the number of Mass intentions to five (5) per person. Due to the large number of requests we re-ceive, we regret that we cannot accept arrangements over the phone at this time. As always, your donation can be paid in cash (exact, please!) or by check. Many thanks in advance for your cooperation and patience.
Please join us as we welcome the newly baptized to our
Christian community:
