IMPORTANT: for everyone's health
At this time and for the foreseeable future, all clergy, parish staff, parishioners, volunteers, vendors, and visitors MUST wear some sort of facial covering upon exiting their vehicle to enter parish buildings. Facial coverings must continuously be worn while in parish buildings and when exiting buildings and only removed once reaching your vehicle to leave our campus.

COVID-19 UPDATE AS OF SEPTEMBER 4, 2020:
-
In response to Governor Hogan’s most recent announcement regarding the State’s moving to Stage 3 of its Road to Recovery reopening plan, the Archdiocese of Baltimore has decided that, for the time being, it will maintain its current guidelines as it assesses the impact of the further reopening by the state and many local jurisdictions. Future updates will be made available within the next few weeks. Please note that all available guidance continues to emphasize the critically important role of wearing masks in preventing the spread of the coronavirus. The archdiocese, as well as Father Victor, encourages everyone to remain vigilant in observing safety protocols during the Labor Day weekend.
Please continue to monitor our Facebook page and parish website for the most complete and up-to-date information regarding parish
operations during the current COVID-19 crisis.
Thank you for your understanding and please - stay safe!

god never changes
The "new normal" has certainly changed the way we all do things these days, including how we go to Mass. However, God never changes. He still loves us unconditionally, and we still praise, love, and adore Him with all our hearts - maybe now more than ever.
We know you’re excited, as are we, to get back to some semblance of normalcy. In addition to our public Masses (5:00 p.m. on Saturdays and 10:00 a.m. on Sundays at the Parkside campus), the Saturday Vigil Mass continues to be streamed live right here on our website and on our Facebook page. If you or someone in your household is ill or at risk of becoming ill because of age or underlying health issues, you might choose to stay home and take advantage of the livestreamed Mass on Saturday evenings. Remember, Archbishop Lori has extended the dispensation from physically attending Mass through Phase II of the reopening of our churches.

Welcome!St. Lawrence Martyr Catholic Church is a very active and rapidly-growing parish in the Archdiocese of Baltimore with a rich history spanning more than 150 years. Our parish is very well known for its welcoming atmosphere, its faithful and sacramental worship of God, and its abundantly generous service not just to one another, but to all of our brothers and sisters in need who live in our parish’s surrounding communities.
Located in northwestern Anne Arundel County, Maryland, our diverse and culturally rich parish is easily accessible from the Baltimore-Washington Parkway off the Odenton/Fort Meade exits at Route 175 (Annapolis Road) in Hanover. Our parishioners come from many area communities throughout Anne Arundel, Howard, and Baltimore counties.
Saint Lawrence Martyr Catholic Church is blessed to be served by the Trinitarians, an ancient religious order founded by Saint John DeMatha. Our parish’s charism is greatly influenced by the Trinitarian mission of ransoming Christian captives and serving our neighbors by performing works of mercy.
Saint Lawrence offers dozens of dynamic ministries in which parishioners of all ages and abilities can be involved and/or benefit: from our incredibly energetic youth and young adult ministries, to young family get-together groups, to our 55-and-over groups. Are you a crafter, a writer, or a chef? You could also serve traditionally as a lector, an usher, or a greeter. How about volunteering your talents in the parish office, or sharing your gardening expertise on parish grounds? There IS a place for YOU here in our family of faith and love in Christ.
Come, and let Our Lord love you through the faith and actions of our parish community.
