KUDOS AND CONGRATS TO FATHER ENRIQUE AND ST. LAWRENCE'S PARISHIONERS.............

St. Lawrence the Martyr Catholic Church, in North Highlands was be re-dedicated this morning after a renovation that has made the church edifice accessible to the disabled, that includes a wheelchair ramp into the altar sanctuary. St. Lawrence;s Pastor, Reverend Father Enrique Alvarez, and the People of God in the North Highlands Parish Community conducted a capital campaign, 'A Journey Together Building Our Faith', to bring this accessibility and inclusion projection to fruition,  A full capacity church of the faithful were present at the Re-Dedication Mass that was presided over by Bishop + Jaime Soto, concelebrated by Father Alvarez, and ten other priests, including Pastors Emeriti, Reverend Father Vincent O'Reilly, and Reverend Joseph Ternullo.  I was proud to be among them and able to get into and out of the church sanctuary by way of the newly installed ramp that like the sanctuary ramp in Divine Savior Church in Orangevale last Tuesday I was able to personally roll myself up and down, thus participate fully in the Eucharistic Liturgies.  Kudos and Congrats to Fr. Enrique and St. Lawrence's for leading us forward into ever more necessary inclusive Ministry to and with Persons With Disabilities in the Sacramento Diocese as throughout the Catholic-Christian Church in the United States.............Father Troy David
