Lent is a time of preparation for Easter, which is the greatest feast day on our Christian calendar. We can prepare for it by spending more time on prayer and  participating in the beautiful devotion of the Stations of the Cross. These activities give us an opportunity to renew our relationship with God and one another and to grow in our understanding and appreciation of the beauty of our Catholic faith.

Stations of the Cross
On Fridays 4pm at St Theresa, Gwelup followed by Communion Service.
On Fridays 7pm at St Lawrence, Balcatta followed by Mass at 7.30pm.
On Tuesdays 7pm (in Italian) at St Lawrence, Balcatta followed by Mass at 7.30pm.

On Sundays 6-8pm in the Parish Hall at St Lawrence Church

392 Albert St, Balcatta.

Inviting all youths in Years 6-12 to join us for spiritual development, fellowship, food and fun. Just come along. All Welcome!

At the beginning of Mass all primary school children are invited to join our Children’s Liturgy Team in the parish hall to participate in activities and discussion tailored to help them better understand ‘The Liturgy of the Word’.
The children will return to Church when the offertory gifts are taken up.
Please encourage your kids to join us.

Christmas Message

"In your own heart"

Though Christ a thousand times

In Bethlehem be born,

If He’s not born in you

Your soul is still forlorn

The cross on Golgotha

Will never save your soul,

The cross in your own heart

Alone can make you whole.

Angelus Silesius

Our wishes for you and your loved ones are that Christ be born in your hearts

and you truly experience what Jesus has to offer us: peace, joy and happiness for the Christmas Season and the New Year.

Merry Christmas from all of us!

Fr Emil, Fr Adam and Secretaries: Arlene, Rosalia & Alice
