Series synopsis

Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence follows the story of protagonists Cecilia and Lawrence. The latter works as a local pastor for the townsfolk, responsible for guiding people in need to the church so they can visit the “Saint,” who is symbolic of good morals and listens to and advises on the problems of those who come.

The kind young Cecilia is chosen to play the role of Saint, but is quickly exhausted by the job. Combined with her unknown bouts of drowsiness, she’s often seen lazing around the church, leaving Lawrence to care for it all by himself. Likewise, Lawrence is responsible for both catering to Cecilia’s needs (even as she sleepily lounges around) and performing the church’s responsibilities.

As time goes on, the two slowly begin to form a valuable friendship with one another, thanks to Lawrence accepting Cecilia’s lax nature and she his smothering one. However, Cecilia’s feelings begin to grow beyond the realm of friendship, begging the question of how Lawrence will respond upon discovering it.

What to expect from episode 1 (speculative)

Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence episode 1 may focus on introducing viewers to both Cecilia and Lawrence. While it’s unclear who the central protagonist is based on currently available information for the anime series, the two seem equal in terms of centrality to the series’ plot.

Moreover, Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence episode 1 will certainly split time between developing the two, likely ending with unified interaction to show their relationship. If nothing else, fans should have a good idea of the pair’s dynamic with one another by the time the episode ends.
