Picture of Deacon MarkWelcome to the St. Lawrence Catholic Resource Site! This site features information on many aspects of the Catholic faith including liturgy, prayers, saints, sacraments, scripture, diaconate, as well as links to other Catholic sites.

My name is Mark Ripper. I was ordained to the order of deacon on June 23, 2001 in the Archdiocese of Baltimore. My family and I are parishioners of St. John Parish in Westminster, MD.

I serve as a chaplain for the Knights of Columbus, Westminster Council and James Cardinal Gibbons Assembly; and St. Vincent de Paul Society. I am an eagle scout and serve as a religious emblems counselor for the Boy Scouts of America in the Archdiocese of Baltimore.

Feel free to email me at meripper@carr.org with your questions about any topic relating to the Catholic faith. All the material on this site is faithful to the magesterium and traditions of the Catholic faith.
