Father Lawrence’s first appointment since coming to the United States was parochial vicar in St. Clare Parish in Roseville, in 2014. He is originally from the Diocese of Meru in Kenya. Meru is located in the middle of Kenya, directly on the equator and is the sixth largest metropolis in the country.
 
He has served as both a parochial vicar and pastor in his almost ten years of ordained ministry in the Catholic Church. He is a Patriotic Degree member of the Knights of Columbus. His is an inspiring and challenging witness of faith and we welcome him to St. Basil’s Parish.
