| St. Lawrence Church, Karachi, Pakistan |
St. Lawrence’s Church, Karachi is part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Karachi. It became a parish in 1912. The Church was constructed with elements of Mughal architecture in it. Lawrence Cajetan Duarte donated the life-size statue of the patron saint which was ordered from Rome
in 1930. The church was built by parishioners through personal
contributions (1903 – 1929), and formally opened on August 10, 1931. The
first High Mass was offered in 1929 without roof and doors and people brought their own stools and chairs. The Church is located at Soldier Bazar, Saddar, Karachi.
The
parish has produced more than 70 doctors, numerous educationists and
entrepreneurs, and houses 11 Religious Orders, 5 Homes for the Aged and
Orphans, and the only Dispensary for the poor in the archdiocese.
