Holy Thursday
Holy Thursday is the commemoration of the Last Supper of Jesus Christ, when he
established the sacrament of Holy Communion prior to his arrest and crucifixion.
It also commemorates His institution of the priesthood.
Good Friday
Good Friday is the day on which Catholics commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Catholics are joined by almost all other Christians in solemn commemoration on this day.
Holy Saturday
Holy Saturday is the period of Holy Week when Catholics remember Jesus' entombment. It is a preparation day. Today is a day of quiet and prayerful reflection on the true gravity of the crucifixion and Jesus' redemptive sacrifice. Throughout the world our Churches are empty of the Blessed Sacrament and quiet in anticipation of Easter's triumph over darkness and evil, sin and death.

Easter Sunday
Easter is the celebration of Christ's resurrection from the dead. It is celebrated on Sunday, and marks the end of Holy Week, the end of Lent, the last day of the Easter Triduum (Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday), and is the beginning of the Easter season of the liturgical year.

The Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God the Father and the
communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

A Welcome Message from our Pastor, Father Sebastian
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Jesus Christ,
We warmly welcome all of you to the first Catholic church in West Pasco County. Together with “Our Blessed Mother” we gather at the Table of her Son, Jesus to get nourished and to proclaim His message of love in words and deeds.
We invite you to be a part of our loving Community being present at our Eucharistic celebrations and other events. Every First Friday at 5.00 p.m. is our Family Dinner Time in the Parish Hall. We gather to know one another and to build up new friendships. The third Sunday of the month is the St. Lorenzo 5 Star Breakfast Buffet. Dates are published in the bulletin. You must try it as it is the "best in town".
Please visit this magnificent Church adorned with colorful stained glass entrance doors, windows, Carillon Tower, Stations of the Cross and the Doves of Peace; stay here in solitude to get blessings upon you and your family through the intercession of Our Blessed Mother.
We look forward to seeing you! May God bless you.
