Parish Developments

Working together to care for and develop our parish for the years ahead.

Introduction

As the years pass by, with so many people visiting St Lawrence Parish,
our church building is showing visible signs of ageing and use.
Diocesan inspections and asset management provide us with a
real-time perspective on the work that needs to be
undertaken to ensure the longevity of our parish site and buildings.

Some works are expected within the next 5–10 years,
others within 10–20 years, while some require more
urgent attention.

The recent Planned Giving Drive aligned itself with
the more urgent works. As a result, we are now in a position to move
forward with the planning stages of these important projects.

We hope that this webpage will keep you up to date with the progress
of our works projects and, together, allow us to share in the excitement
as we see the continued development of our parish.
