Mass Times Update
Published March 08, 2022 / by St. Lawrence HamiltonAs was announced at Mass on Sunday, there are a couple updates to our Mass schedule starting this week:
Tuesday Mass is back and will be at 7:00 p.m. preceded by opportunity for confession at 6:30 p.m.
Wednesday Mass is now moved to 12:00 noon (no confessions on Wednesday now)
Friday Masses will be alternating during lent between 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. followed by stations of the cross – this is to allow for everyone to have the opportunity to attend the stations of the cross at some point during Lent. The full schedule of Masses can be found on our Mass Schedule Page
NB: All Capacity restrictions have been lifted from the church – parishioners are still required to wear a mask upon entry. We thank you for doing this small thing so that we can be open at full capacity.

Saturday Evening Mass
Published October 28, 2020 / by St. Lawrence HamiltonSince we’ve re-opened for Sunday Mass, the need to allow for social distancing has reduced seating capacity in the church significantly. As a result, on many Sundays we have unfortunately reached our seating capacity and had to turn away a few families.
In an effort to ease some of the capacity issues on Sundays we are, for the time being, offering a Sunday Vigil Mass on Saturdays at 5:00 p.m.
It is our hope that this additional Sunday Mass option will help to ease crowding on Sunday and ensure that everyone wants to, has the ability to attend Mass at St. Lawrence.

Parish Bulletin : Palm Sunday
Published April 05, 2020 / by St. Lawrence HamiltonFrom the Pastor’s Desk
Hosanna to the Son of David!
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!
Hosanna in the highest heaven!
In this way the crowds in Jerusalem greeted Jesus coming in the holy city. They spread their cloaks and cut branches from the trees, laying them on the road to honour the Son of David.
Each year Palm Sunday takes us spiritually to Jerusalem to sing Hosanna to the King. Yet, during the Liturgy we listen to the Passion of the Lord too. We proceed from that solemn and joyful entry to the Cross. Palm Sunday opens the most important week of the liturgical year – the Holy Week that prepares us directly for the Paschal Feasts. With the Lord’s Supper Mass, we begin the Sacred Pascal (Easter) Triduum – the greatest three days. The Liturgy leads us from the Cenacle through the Passion, Death and Grave to the glorious Resurrection of the Lord.
This year, due to the pandemic situation, our Holy Week will be different in its external form but the same in its importance and spiritual celebration. Although we cannot come together to the church to once again celebrate these mysteries of our faith we can be united with each other in spirit and through social media. Of course, it is a serious challenge for us all but on the other hand, this may confirm and strengthen our faith in Jesus Christ our Saviour and may make us more united as a faith community.
There will be live streamed Masses from our church on our parish facebook website (you do not need to have a facebook account to see the Masses):
Palm Sunday 11 am
Holy Thursday 7 pm
Easter Sunday 11 am
On Good Friday I encourage everyone to read the Passion of the Lord and pray the Stations of the Cross with your families.
In addition, I invite you to pray in unison with me, in your homes, the Divine Mercy Novena at 7 pm everyday beginning on Good Friday. The Divine Mercy Novena prayers and chaplet will be available on our website.
I would like to thank all of you who attended our live streamed Mass last Sunday as well as those who watched it later. It was really good to see you participating with your pastor during the celebration. I am thankful for your feedback and suggestions I have received. I am looking forward to our next Mass!
God bless,
Fr. Peter
