Lawrence Eugene Brandt (born March 27, 1939) is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as the fourth bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Greensburg in Pennsylvania until April 24, 2015.
Lawrence Brandt was born in Charleston, West Virginia; he has two sisters. He would pretend to celebrate the Mass as a child, using a small workbench as an altar, Necco Wafers as hosts, and one of his father’s architectural manuals as the lectionary. The family later moved to Pennsylvania, where Brandt attended St. John the Evangelist School in Girard. He then studied at the Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus, Ohio.
Brandt studied in Austria at the University of Innsbruck, obtaining his doctorate in philosophy in 1966. He also completed his theological studies at the Pontifical North American College and Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. He was ordained to the priesthood on December 19, 1969, in St. Peter's Basilica.
