Faith In The Home: Guardian Angels
October 13, 2026
Parishioners at St Laurence’s, Cambridge, celebrated the Diocese of East Anglia’s Golden Jubilee with a lively Parish Day on 13 September.
Held at St Laurence’s Catholic Primary School, the day featured a talent show, games and activities, as well as a bring-and-share feast and barbecue. Parish groups also took the opportunity to raise funds, showcase their work and reach out to new people.
The celebrations concluded with an outdoor Mass celebrated by Bishop Peter Collins and concelebrated by parish priest Fr Robin Joseph and assistant priest Fr Alex Sunny. They were joined by Fr Peter Ho and parish deacons Dr Geoff Cook and Dr Gianluca Savini.
Reflecting the rich diversity of St Laurence’s, the Mass brought together the parish’s different cultural communities in a joyful celebration of faith.
During the day, several parishioners were recognised for their years of service and support, while others celebrating a 50th birthday or anniversary were also honoured.
The parish warmly thanked the school for its generous hospitality and for providing such a welcoming setting for the festivities. Even the weather played its part, with the rain stopping in time for the outdoor Mass.
The Parish Day offered a memorable opportunity for the St Laurence’s community to come together and embrace its part in the Diocese’s Golden Jubilee celebrations.
