Ash Wednesday is Wednesday February 26, 2020 this year to start off the Lenten season. Lent is a 40-day season of fasting, repentance and reflection before Easter. We will attend Mass at St. Laurence as a school, and reflect on Christ’s life during Lent, focusing on His own ultimate triumph over temptation. Lent ends with the celebration of Easter, marking Jesus’ resurrection. 

St. Laurence will be closed Monday, February 17, 2020 in observance of President’s Day! Enjoy your long weekend!

St. Laurence wishes you a Happy Valentine’s Day. We will be closed February 14 for faculty meetings. Remember, we’re also off on Monday for President’s Day. Enjoy your long weekend!

Dedicating fifty years to a career is impressive.  But committing fifty years to Catholic education is an achievement worthy of special recognition. St. Monica teacher Mrs. Sarah Avitalle was honored this past Friday during a Mass celebrating teachers who have reached milestones in their careers. Mrs. Avitalle began teaching in Philadelphia 50 years ago at the age of 18.
