Introducing Rooted and Rising: Brick by Brick

St. Laurence Prayer Garden Brick Project

Located in the middle of our future Parish Hall grounds, the new Prayer Garden and walkway will be a space of peace, beauty, and prayer. You and your family are invited to engrave a personalized brick—transforming names, memories, milestones, and Scripture into the very path our parishioners will walk for decades to come.

Each engraved brick is a quiet testimony. Whether you’re marking a baptism, remembering a loved one, or offering a favorite verse, your message becomes part of the living mosaic that makes this parish home.

Who Will You Invite to Walk With Us?

This project isn’t just about bricks. It’s about people. We want the prayer garden to reflect not only our own names, but the names of those who have shaped our lives—grandparents, godparents, grown children, former members, or faraway friends.

We want to extend this invitation to family and friends who know and love St. Laurence. That starts with you. Share this opportunity with someone who’d love to leave a mark, whether they live down the street or across the country.

Order Your Brick

Choose your inscription and order your brick today with a donation of $100 or more. Celebrate a loved one, honor a family milestone, or share a word of Scripture. Every brick is a welcome addition to the space.

Engraving guidelines: Each brick may have up to 3 lines of text. Each line may have up to 17 characters per line (e.g. letters, numbers, spaces, commas, dashes, etc.).
