This 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, participating in the beautiful devotion of the Stations of the Cross and being part of a Lenten Reflection Group. All 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. 

St Lawrence Parish is a very welcoming, vibrant, mutilcultural parish.

On the 4th Sunday of each month instead of Children's Liturgy we have  Children’s Mass at the 5pm Mass. 

For Children's Liturgy, all primary school children are invited at the beginning of Mass 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. We look forward to your kids joining us.

At Children's Mass on the 4th Sunday, the children are invited to remain in church and sing with the choir, read the prayers of the faithful and take up the offertory gifts. The children can simply join us near the choir area before the 5pm Mass and our Liturgy team will look after them. All kids welcome! 

We hold a Parish Cuppa and acknowledge the recent birthdays of parishioners at the end of each month after Masses at 8.30am, 10am(Italian) and 5pm at St Lawrence Church, Balcatta and 11.30am at St Theresa Church, Gwelup. We invite everyone to join us for fellowship. 

We encourage everyone to introduce yourself to a person sitting next to you each time you come to church before the Mass begins and offer to pray for one another during the Mass, for instance during the Prayers of the Faithful. Together we will continue to build and nurture our caring parish community.
