About Us

WELCOME TO ST. LAWRENCE CHURCH OUR DOORS ARE OPEN

 Welcome to the WEB site of St. Lawrence Parish!  I am Fr. Walter J. Benn, Pastor of this wonderful parish, located next  to the Delaware River among the rolling hills of Upper Bucks County.   

If you have visited the area, you have  discovered that this is unadulterated farm country. Many of the farms in  the area have been within the same families for many generations.  Historically, the Catholic community here has been small but growing.  Initially, the spiritual needs of Catholics in the area were addressed  by neighboring parishes, which were themselves small. Eventually, the  Catholic population grew to the point where a small church was built as a  Mission Church in order to accommodate the growing number of Catholics  in the Riegelsville area. That wooden church served the needs of the  people until 1958 when the present church was built. St. Lawrence became  an independent parish in 1974.  While the majority of our parishioners  are Pennsylvanians, you’ll find a large number of parishioners who are  from Northern New Jersey and New York city. 

In  order for you to get a sense of our parish, I would encourage you to  visit the various “Tabs” on our WEB site. They will give you a sense of  what we are about and what we are striving to become. WEB sites can be  helpful in many ways; however, nothing will give you a better sense of St. Lawrence Parish as a personal experience. If you are a person or family, who is looking  for a community in which to establish your spiritual roots, I would  encourage you to include a few personal experiences of St. Lawrence Parish before  making your decision. Come among us and take the time to experience our  parish. When you do, you will discover a group of believers who are  proud of their parish and proud of their Catholic Faith.

Additional Services

Gluten Free Hosts

For those with allergies to wheat-based food, St. Lawrence Parish always maintains a supply of consecrated gluten-free hosts. Those hosts will be distributed by the Eucharistic Minister on the Left side (St. Joseph side of the main isle). It's not required, but it is helpful if you inform an usher or the sacristan before Mass of your request. If you are accompanied by guests, please make sure they are aware of this opportunity.

Home Bound Parishioners

If you know of a parishioner who home-bound because of age or infirmity, please ask them if they would like Fr. Benn to bring them the Eucharist and offer them the Sacrament of Healing. He does this once a month. If you are reluctant to approach them about this, please pass on the name of that parishioner and we will be happy to approach them ourselves.
