November 8, 2009 Renovations to our Parish Hall All Saints Parade Kitchenette Painted These improvements and renovations are possible only because of you. God bless you. Father Gerlach. ======================================= In March of 2009, we broke ground in the social hall for two institutional restrooms. Through multiple efforts of parish volunteers, our first ever all class alumni and Miller Mechanical Company, the restrooms are near completion.
I believe the social hall will mark a convenient place to gather, strengthening our faith community and our families. Thank you to everyone involved in transforming our social hall into an inviting place for parish gatherings. - Father Gerlach, Pastor-

The Dedication Plaque in the Lower Church Provides Historic Interest
Monsignor Malone has gratiously provided us with this translation from the Latin text:Denis Cardinal Dougherty, Archbishop of Philadelphia, installed the cornerstone of this church, that is dedicated to the Glory of God and the honor of Saint Laurence the Martyr, on the 16th day after the Kalends of February (i.e., February 1) A.D. 1926, in the presence of a large group of festive clergy and people. Pope Pius XI was gloriously reigning, Calvin Coolidge was President of the Republic, Clifford Pinchot was Governor of the State of Pennsylvania, Freeland Kendrick was the mayor of Philadelphia, and Father Maurice Cowl was the pastor of the new church.
