St Laurence Parish

St. Laurence is an Anglican congregation that feels called to create an intentional community seeking to practice a renewed Christian spirituality in order to deepen members’ experience of God and share this path with others as a response to the growing hunger for meaning and hope in the surrounding community and society.
St. Laurence is located in the community of Lakeview in South West Calgary and is easily accessible via Glenmore and Crowchild Trails.

St. Laurence is a medium-sized parish serving families of all ages. It was established in the mid 1960s; some of the founding members are still active in parish life and have now been joined by their children and grandchildren.


Sunday morning worship is a Eucharist according to the rites in the Book of Alternative Services. Services commence at 10:00 AM year-round. From September to May there is a church school program for children and a youth group for teens during the worship time. We also provide a supervised nursery for younger children all year long.
The last Sunday of the month at 5:00 pm there is a quiet and beautiful Contemplative Prayer service.

Members of the St. Laurence concentrate their efforts in five main areas of ministry and mission: Worship and Music, Education (children and adults), Spiritual Practice (centering prayer, lectio divina, gratitude), Works of Mercy and Justice (compassion and outreach), and Community Life (nurture and pastoral care, fellowship and membership, new member assimilation). There are a variety of other groups and committees active in the church, including adult Christian education groups, a men’s group, a craft group, a women’s group and an excellent choir, all of which provide opportunities to develop one’s Christian life in relationship and fellowship with others.

We welcome everyone in worship and fellowship. Join us at St. Laurence anytime!
