Welcome to St Lawrence
Welcome to St Lawrence Parish Church, York. We are a Prayer Book-Catholic Church near the University of York, outside Walmgate Bar on Lawrence Street. Our principal Sunday service is our 10:15am Parish Mass. Every Sunday evening, we have Evensong at 18:30, which is sung by our choir in university term time.
Upcoming Special Services and Events
Details about our regular Sunday services are here: Sundays at St. Lawrence. Feast Days and Christmas services can be found below, or in more detail, here: Special Services and Events.

VE Day
For the commemoration of the 80th Anniversary of VE Day, join us for Choral Evensong on Sunday 11th May at 6:30pm. Both Ken Cooke and the civic party will be in attendance at this service. Refreshments served after Evensong.

Uncovering the Secrets of a Window
We will be holding a series of fascinating events all about the Harpley memorial stained-glass window dedicated to a son lost at the Somme and his father who was vicar of the church.
“Uncovering the Secrets of a Window” – a programme of expert talks and drop-in sessions – will take visitors on a journey through York’s local history, the art of stained glass, and the window’s surprising connections to the Suffragette movement and the Legend of the Holy Grail.
