• Consultation on Sunday Mass times.

  Dear Parishioners

  We would like to consult with you about Sunday Mass times at St Laurence’s.

  We have been persuaded that there needs to be a change to current Sunday morning Mass times. There has long been regret that parishioners at the 9.30am cannot socialise after Mass because they need immediately to clear the car park for those attending at 11am. In addition, the congestion in the car park as the 9.30am congregation leaves and the 11.00am congregation arrives sometimes reaches the point of being a safety risk.

  To give me and the Parish Pastoral Council a sense of parishioners’ preferences, please complete the parish survey which you can access on the St. Laurence Parish portal. If you have not done so before you will need to register first. A few paper copies of the survey will be available at Masses this weekend for those who are not able to access the portal.
