Donations to St. Lawrence can be made through weekly and special collections at Mass, via post and courier, in person by visiting the office, and online electronically. In addition, we are equipped to receive donations of securities and distributions from retirement accounts.
Electronic giving
New online platform (ParishSoft): In 2026, St. Lawrence began using ParishSoft for online giving. You may access that here.
Please note that that gifts to the building fund are distinct from gifts to the Generation to Generations Capital Campaign. To fulfill a pledge to the capital campaign, or to make a new or additional gift to the capital campaign, you may go here.
To make a pledge to the capital campaign, or to increase your pledge, you may go here.
Old online platform (Vanco): Prior to 2026, St. Lawrence used Vanco for online giving. With the introduction of a different online platform, we request parishioners to migrate to the new online platform, which helps to make our record keeping more accurate.
Parishioners with recurring gifts on Vanco's platform can modify or delete them here. Please consider replacing your old recurring gifts on Vanco with a new recurring gift on ParishSoft (see above).
