Some have noticed new statuary in the parish center, which arrived a few months ago as a gift to the parish from a family at the FSSP apostolate in Tacoma, Washington, St. Joseph's parish, an arrangment organized by the pastor there, Fr. Timothy O'Brien, FSSP.

Three beautiful statues, including a statue of St. Joseph (below), Our Lady, and an impressive crucifix, were donated to St. Lawrence, only requiring our parish to pay for transportation. Given the delicacy of the items and their large size, the shipping cost approximately $3,200, and despite the great care taken by all involved, some small damage was done. Thanks very much to the Kadar-Kallen family for repairing St. Joseph, which looks wonderful now. 

You will be able to see it in person at the St. Joseph's table Monday night after the High Mass in the parish center. May God reward the many people who helped us display these beautiful pieces of art in our parish center, helping us all to pray in a better way.
