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 Christmas.


Choral Evensong

Choral Evensong has ended to allow our choristers to have a Christmas break! Evensong continues every sunday, sung congregationally, and over the Advent season there are carols services on some Sundays, more details below. Choral evensong restarts on the 12th of January 2025.
