This is a day of Fast and Abstinence
St Lawrence: Masses at 9am & 7.30pm
St Theresa: Mass at 10.30am

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, participating in the beautiful devotion of the Stations of the Cross (see times below) and being part of a Lenten Reflection Group (see Church notice board for details). 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.

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.

For all youths from year 6 to highschool year 12. Come join us in the Parish Hall for fellowship, food and fun!

SUNDAY TAIZE PRAYER EVENINGS FOR 2020: Feb 23, April 26, June 29, August 23 and Nov 1. 
Please come join us for an hour of music, singing, short readings and intercession prayers. 

Instead of joining the Liturgy Team for CHILDREN'S LITURGY at the 5PM SUNDAY MASS, on the 4TH SUNDAY of each month (during school term) the Children are invited to remain in Church to participate in the CHILDREN'S MASS at 5pm. Simply ask your children to join the Liturgy Team near the choir area before Mass begins and they will be invited to sing with the choir, read the prayers of the faithful and take up the offertory gifts. All kids Welcome. Please encourage your children to join us!

Enrolment registration and classes commence Tues 11th Feb 4pm in the Parish Hall

PREP offers a comprehensive Religious Education program for children who attend a government primary school in years 2-6. Incorporated into the program are the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation. Classes are held on Tuesdays from 4–5.15pm at St Lawrence Parish during school term by fully trained catechists.

There will be an Enrolment Mass on Saturday 7th March at 6pm and Sunday 8th March at 5pm for all children who will be receiving a Sacrament this year. If you missed registration day on Tue 11 Feb or would like more information please contact the parish office on 9344 7066.

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.
