RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults- Non-Catholic Spouses encouraged to attend) This process is “designed for adults who, after hearing the mystery of Christ proclaimed, consciously and freely seek the living God and enter the way of faith and conversion as the Holy Spirit opens their hearts”.  The first stage of this process is referred to as the Precatechumenate or “inquiry” period which means that your questions will be answered before you make your final decision to freely become Catholic.  Classes will be held on Wednesday nights, beginning September 8th from 7pm-8:30pm in the Father Kasper room in the lower level of the Church.  These classes take place weekly until the end of the Easter season.

Sister Parish

The Parish of St. Lawrence in Lawrenceburg, Indiana has a sister parish relationship with a large Catholic parish in San Luis, Peten Province, Guatemala in Central America.

This relationship, which is organized through the Maryknoll Missionaries, began in June 2000. The Sister Parish Committee of St. Lawrence was formed to help aid in supporting our brothers and sisters in Christ in the San Luis Parish.

This aid is in the form of prayer and financial aid. The Sister Parish Committee also organizes and promotes trips for St Lawrence members to Guatemala in order to aid our Sister Parish personally.

St. Lawrence Parish benefits educationally in learning about the culture of our Sister Parish. In addition, we are blessed by the love and prayers of our new family in Guatemala. If you would like to learn more about our Sister Parish please contact the Sister Parish Committee.
