Lawrence J. Wroblewski

May the Blue Eagles (Brooklyn Prep) fly high because of people like Fr. Lawrence

Father, I learned more about writing...and life...in your AP English class than I did in any college course. You will be missed.

Rest in peace, Father Wroblewski. During my highschool "theater" years at Our Lady of Mercy, your steadfast presence was one I cherished (1983-1986). Even more meaningful were the poignant conversations we shared as I prepared for my wedding and you were the celebrant (in 1996). Your insight and empathy lifted me up as ten years later, I sadly sent you news of my divorce. You were always kind, always truthful, and like a looking glass into my soul. I will miss you and that famous "Mona Lisa...

Godspeed Father. Thank you for helping me (and many other young men at McQuaid) understand what it really means to cast fire upon the Earth.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Rest peacefully Father. Your wisdom, patience and insight continue to change countless lives for the better. You will always represent McQuaid to generations of people and I feel blessed to have known you. Thank you again for having given your love and grace so freely to so many and for casting your fire upon the earth.
Go with God
Class of '81

Father Wroblewski, I just wanted to express my sincere thanks and gratitude for all that you have done for me. Both as a student and as a teacher. Your quiet presence and guiding approach meant a lot. I am grateful I had the opportunity to pray with you during the final stages of your illness.
Respectfully,
Michael Williams '88

RIP Father. Your class gave me memories I will never forget, and your presence at McQuaid was such an important part of my high school years. We all somehow thought you would live forever, but now it seems the Heavenly Father has called you home. McQuaid and Rochester won't be the same without you. Keep looking out for us from your new home up above, Father, just as you always did in life; I know those of us whose lives you were able to touch will keep the memories you created in our thoughts...
