For the occasion of the Jubilee Year of Prayer 2025, the Teach us to Pray handbook has been created to accompany Christian faith communities and parishes on the path of preparation for the Jubilee 2025.
The booklet contains very useful guides and reminders of occasions of prayer, including:
prayer in the Parish Community;
prayer in the Family;
prayer with Young People;
prayer in Sanctuaries; and more
including catechesis on prayer.
You may download the booklet below
ENTRANCE TO LAURENCETOWN CEMETERY
Due to health and safety concerns regarding the stone wall to the side of Laurencetown Cemetery (beside Broad Oaks), this entrance has been closed to all traffic. We apologise for any inconvenience. We are currently looking at all options regarding the repair or replacement of the wall.

 A huge thank you to all who have used the 'DONATE' button on the website. It's a simple way for you to make a contribution to the parish. However, as there is a nominal charge to the parish for each transaction, we would prefer if you did not use this method for your regular weekly/monthly contribution. If you find this method easier than using the 'envelope', why not sign up for a standing order. It saves you searching for the money on a Saturday evening or a Sunday morning and you can amend it at any time. An updated form is available if you click below.
