As Catholics from the Essex Area, we are proud to be parishioners of the Holy Family and St. Lawrence Faith Community. However, we are mindful that as disciples of Jesus, God calls us to ever deeper and further growth. Therefore, we have chosen to formally embrace the ideals of Christian Stewardship because we want our parishes, to be more: prayerful & spiritual, dynamic & energentic, welcome & inclusive, close knit & supportive, just & generous and collegial & empowering.
