CAPITAL CAMPAIGN PROGRESS
Generation to Generations: A campaign for St. Lawrence
We launched the public phase of our capital campaign last Sunday, Feb. 1, and plan to provide regular updates on our progress.
As of Saturday, Feb. 7, here is our status:
Pledged: $587,214.00
Recieved: $71,311.00
St. Lawrence Goal: $1,500,000.00
We urge each parishioner to pray daily to the Divine Infant of Prague, seeking our Lord’s blessing on this capital campaign. If you have not received package in the mail yet, with full details about the campaign, please contact the parish office.
O Miraculous Infant Jesus! We beseech You to cast a merciful look on our troubled hearts. Let your tender heart, so inclined to pity, be softened at our prayers and grant us that grace which we ardently implore (for the success of our Generation to Generations capital campaign). Take from us the affliction and despair, the trials, and misfortunes with which we are laden. For the sake of Your sacred infancy, hear our prayer and send us consolation and aid that we may praise You with the Father and the Holy Ghost forever and ever.
Congratulations to the St. Lawrence Basketball Team for winning the 2026 3rd Annual FSSP Regional Basketball Tournament! 
St. Lawrence has launched the Generation to Generations Capital Campaign to build a stronger foundation for the young people of the parish and for future generations to grow in faith. With your support, this campaign will establish firmly our position as a mature parish without debt, maintain and improve the spaces needed for the many activities our vibrant life requires, and preserve the beauty and tradition of our church and liturgy.
The campaign hopes to raise between $1.6 million and $2.1 million over the next three years for these imporant projects:
- purchase 112 State Street (the Parish Center)
- pay off the mortgage for the church
- make important repairs to the rose window and parish social hall
- and expand rectory space to accommodate more visitors and an additional priest in the future
St. Lawrence Bookstore, located in the basement of the Parish Center at 112 State Street, Harrisburg, Penn., now sells its products online. It can be reached at bookstore.stlawrence.cc.
The bookstore is open on Sundays following the 7:30am Mass until 1pm. Any purchases made online can be picked up at the bookstore during those hours, or by request at other times.
The parish hopes that parishioners will deepen their faith by reading lives of the saints and other books on the teachings of our holy religion. In addition, the bookstore will provide access to important sacramentals such as scapulars and rosaries. Many of the products sold in the bookstore are donated by other parishioners, and all proceeds go to support the parish's mission for the salvation of souls.
