Welcome to St Lawrence

Welcome to St Lawrence Parish Church, a welcoming Prayer Book Catholic parish in the heart of York, close to the University of York and just outside Walmgate Bar in Lawrence Street.

At the centre of our parish life is the celebration of worship rooted in the Catholic tradition of the Church of England and the riches of the Book of Common Prayer. Our principal Sunday service is the Parish Mass at 10:15am, and during university term time we also offer Choral Evensong at 6:30pm, expertly sung to a very high standard by our auditioned choir.

Everyone is welcome at St Lawrence. We are blessed with a growing congregation that includes students and young adults, alongside parishioners who have worshipped here all their lives. Whether you are new to York, exploring faith for the first time, returning to church, or have been part of the local community for generations, we hope you will quickly feel at home here.

The parish is under the patronage of The Society of St Wilfrid and St Hilda and the church is a corporate member of the Prayer Book Society. We receive the extended episcopal care of Stephen Race SSC, Bishop of Beverley.

We look forward to welcoming you!
