St Lawrence Parish

The school was originally established by the Sisters of Mercy in 1960 and still maintains a close connection to the Sisters and the Mercy Charism. Our school serves the Parish communities of Balcatta and Gwelup. Spiritually is developed in many ways here at St Lawrence. Our Religious Education curriculum, Masses and Liturgies throughout the school year and the Making Jesus Real (MJR) program all come together to help us build and enhance our spirituality. We join with the Parish to run the Sacramental Program and this incorporates workshops, information nights and retreats. We have daily prayer to help our students to come closer to God and learn how to give thanks and seek intercessions.

There are two churches, which belong to St Lawrence Parish: St Lawrence & Mary Immaculate in Balcatta and St Theresa in Gwelup, with Mt La Verna Retirement Village. For children who do not attend a Catholic school, the Parish offers a comprehensive Religious Education Program. Incorporated into this program are the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation. We are one Christian Family!

Jesus saved us as a community and He wants us to worship Him as a community (not only as individuals).
So, come and see, experience God’s mercy, compassion and Christian love among us!
